Winter Buildup and Snowcrash bug

Snowcrash says it increases the boulders cost by 5 mana. Then it says it is affected by your avalanche skill tree,
The winter build up reduces the mana cost up to 5 mana.

This does not work. The mana cost is still the same.
I am using Werebear form and charms to proc the Earthquake but the mana cost still applies.

It helps if you give a bit more detail since the devs don’t know the nodes/etc off by heart. It took me a while to figure out that Snowcrash was on the Earthquake tree.

I assume you have converted Avalanche to a cast skill rather than channelled? I’d assume that would be the only way you could get the Winter Buildup node to reduce the cost of the boulders from Earthquake to zero (if that’s possible at all).

I am using a charm that procs Aftershock on melee hit. With in the Earthquake you have the Snowcrash node that casts Avalanche. Snowcrash inceases the mana cost of the cast by 5 mana. Then it says it uses Avalanche skill tree. With in the Avalance skill tree there is the node Winter Build up that reduces the mana cost by -5.

The idea of the build is to stack charms to proc Aftershocks on melee hit which in turn they cast Avalanche. Avalanche has a node named Alpine Guide that casts an aditional boulder on crit.

So I was trying to make a melee character that procs aftershock which would proc avalanche which would cast again if it was a critical hit.

Up to that point everything works but the mana cost. That pretty much broke the build since you run out of mana in seconds.

Going by the tooltips it should work.

I hope I made it more clear.

Could you link your Avalanche tree? Or just upload your character to Last Epoch Build Planner & link that to make sure there’s no uniques that would interfere with it.

No uniques, just rares.

Thanks :slight_smile:

EDIT

Those nodes seem to be made with Werebear in mind, since you can’t generate mana in werebear form. I was very surprised that it didn’t work.

I also tested Ursine Wisdom and Food for Thought in Werebear form. 350% global mana efficiency and still those do not work, which make even less sense since is Global.

Having had a look at your skill tree from your discord comment, I suspect that it’s coded for Earthquake to charge you 5 mana & cast a Boulder, which is then modified by the damage & other proc nodes from your Avalanche tree.

So its working as intended? If yes the wording needs to be corrected atleast.
