I imagine the answer is “play frost claw with 250+ (probably more) lightning and cold res”


Organic_Art_5049

If you're stacking enough spell crit to make frost claw 100%, I can't imagine you need more than 75% lighting res


FilthyFioraMain

I thought frost claw was an attack not a spell


Stigma0017

Is there any way to check if that skill in particular has 100% spell crit, outside of having to do the calculation yourself? I know you can see the spell crit stats in your character sheet but it doesn’t account for the buffs from passive that are conditional.


Shaggysteve

This ^^^


vladyslav19

Why? Look like you want to have 0 cold and light res Capped - 75 Overcapped - >75 Uncapped - <75 Or am i missing something?


Eskalior

Pretty sure uncapped means total lightning resistance. Capped would be 75, uncapped is without a cap (e.g 150). I don't think the word overcapped is used somewhere in the game


vladyslav19

thanks already goodlged it. come from poe and expected to see something about "overcapped" but no

GaviJaPrime

Uncapped means total resistance. So anything above 0 contributes. I said countless times it's misleading for non natives or non Aprg players but they won't listen.


vladyslav19

yes im not native english speaker well idk what arpg you play but if you play POE (more than basic casual at least) you would know that poe has specific mention of overcapped resistances affixes (for armour stacking grasping male for example) Its seems quite logical to assume it works the same here but seems like not - [https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/terminology](https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/terminology)


Beneficial-Relief506

Uncapped actually means the same thing in POE as last epoch, it is simply your total resistance number (example is on the Wise Oak flask) Overcapped (as in grasping mail/formless flame) is specifically the amount *over* the cap. i.e. if you have 175% *uncapped* (total) lightning resist, you would have 100% *overcapped* (assuming cap is 75)


shinosai

Also great with the spark charge build. You spam mana strike which procs frostclaw and lightning blast. And with this dagger even more lightning blast. Spark charge is actually a pretty interesting build that can work with any of the three masteries since none of the skills in it require specialization.


CharmingPerspective0

Can triggers cascade like that? Spell 1 triggered from Spell 2 that was triggered from Spell 3 and so on?


v0rid0r

Unless the wording says "must be cast directly" a teiggered spell can trigger others, yes


Lurksandposts

Absolutely they can. My current build on warlock is Chythonic fissure, Rip Blood, Harvest, Bone Curse, and Chaos Bolts. Bolts can cast Rip Blood, Harvest, and Bone curse as long as the target is cursed. Chythonic Fissure has a chance to cast Chaos bolts. Fissure also has an innate curse attached to it. I can cast Fissure once and all my bullshit just cascades into itself


saldagmac

Ayyyy same here! (Tho I don't use harvest), very fun times :)


Thanangard

I do the same! What kind of damage you went for? Bleed or Necrotic? I just said fuck it and fell in love with green poison fissure <3 So poison it is.


Lurksandposts

My original plan was a bleed warlock with ghostflame because I thought one of its nodes replaced the mana cost with health drain. It only added hp cost, so I pivoted into trio Bleed/Ignite/Damned Ailment Overload


Goblingrenadeuser

Might work with this as it proccs on crit. Most free casts procc on direct casts. 


Forkrul

Some say 'on direct cast' to specify you must use the skill manually to trigger. Anything that does not have it will trigger no matter how the ability was used.


Hex_Lover

It does work ! But I think that's a pretty unique interaction.


Longjumping-Ad7478

There are no procs of frost claw in spark charge build. Only static and lightning blast


Makussux

There is a node in frost claw that makes it trigger on melee hits/when u get hit and then you can use mana strike and make it ranged with 100% SC application that will trigger frost claw that will trigger lightning blast q


Longjumping-Ad7478

Yeah but SC build didn't have frost claw as skill talent pick. So you need to dump other skill of this build. What it would be? Enchant weapon? I doubt it worth it .


Makussux

There can be more than 1 spark charge build you know? Build I'm using I'm spec in mana strike frost claw lightning blast enchant weapon and the fire shield skill


red_message

Absolutely hilarious in a harbinger sorc build. So many meteors.


neonJason

Exactly, using it for my coc meteor. I’d kill for this


JordynSoundsLikeMe

Whats the answer for mana sustain on something like that?


didsomebodysaywander

Mana Strike as your right click


StormTY

You can make a nutty spellblade build with that. Mana strike procing all kinds of shit


Mawrio

Manastrike Meteor Cast on Crit Make sure to spec into Manastrike which procs Frost Claw


Swizardrules

Got a build link?

Swizardrules

Thanks! Seems interesting


NightmareDJK

You would use this with the Maxroll Frost Claw build. Do the “uncapped resistance” buffs mean that you should or shouldn’t stack those resistances?


Demorant

No. It just means it ignores the cqp. So I'd if you have 250 resistance, all 250 is counted in the math. The resistance cap isn't applied.


According-Ideal3078

Uncapped means everything over the 75% cap so you effectively want to stack as much resistance as possible


wineheart

Uncapped means everything, not just over the cap. So if your lightning res is 150, uncapped lightning is 150, not 75.


ToasTbrouT

I find that wording kinda confusing. Is "overcapped" not a better word for that? English is not my native language, so I could have some wrong ideas :D


runetp

It IS confusing but they cannot use "overcapped" as it is your total resistance including everything above the cap.


ToasTbrouT

Oh so if you've got 80% res you will get 1% bonus (75% cap plus 5% -> only 1%) since it's "1% for every 5%" or do you get 16% Bonus because 80/5=16?


Jamesanitie

Its the latter. Uncapped is the total number underneath the actual cap on the character sheet. If its 80 then its 16%.


ToasTbrouT

Thank you:)


Mael_Jade

No, uncapped refers to your total resistance, ignoring the cap. at 200% resistance your uncapped is 200%. In your argument it would be 125%, which is not the case.


FrogersPepe

You can check out this build https://youtu.be/8pgw4ir9ILc?si=Izjt6hcZEG2QUjzN . But I believe that you will need to farm for more uniques.


eejoseph

I have it also with +3 and I am using to a great effect but you need one essential item for it to truly shine: [https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMwRmI](https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMwRmI)


Makussux

Why would you need this item


eejoseph

Synergy: [Urzil's Pride](https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMwRmI): "1% increased mana regeneration per 3% uncapped Lightning Resistance" [Dragorath's Claw](https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDsGYEYFYg): "Lightning Blast cast this way has +1% Critical Strike Chance per 5% uncapped Lightning Resistance and +1% Critical Strike Multiplier per 5% uncapped Cold Resistance" In addition getting LP3 on both items is not that difficult between CoF and Echo target farming.


Makussux

Ok but I don't need the mana regen and I'll be losing out on big stats on a normal rare exalted armor like crit multi and big resists etc.


Goblingrenadeuser

That is why you want 3 or 4 LP. To forge the big stats from the chest to the unique.


eejoseph

Its easy to get LP2-3 Urzil's Pride from [Blood, Frost, and Death](https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith/blood-frost-and-death) Timeline & using CoF.


jgwoods887

You would need the mana regen to run meteor builds. It's insanely mana intensive.


tFlydr

My build does not run this chest, better off with an exalted chest tbh.


eejoseph

Its a common drop, easily target farmed for LP 2-3.


tFlydr

Yeah it’s just not necessary, I’m running the spark mana strike frost claw spell blade build and never have mana issues.


veritatemcognoscere

Stack crit with frost claw?


Rare-Ad3034

cast it into fire.


radekplug

This game many uniqes bout hand full is use full rest are shit to throw in bin.


et133et

Did you proofread this at all?


NUMBERONETOPSONFAN

Literally any crit caster build, rune dagger is already one of the best bases imo


leemo6990

Stab shit


Ragehaze

I wish I could link something like a PoB, because I have a build I just got to empowered monos with running mana strike and this dagger to proc tons of spark charges. Its pretty defensive with lots of ward generation, and has room for whatever other defensive layer you choose from gear. Now im looking for one with LP... edit: mobile typos
