Last Epoch latest patch feels really good

Alongside other skills. Plenty of nodes seem to also be either bugged or effed up in some other way (such as turning a skill from necrotic to physical but keeping the shred to necrotic). Also this



Considering they spent an year on this patch, it has to be one of the worst updates. I don't even know how they managed to turn skills which were passable into a buggy mess considering the skills themselves are pretty much the same as they were in 0.8.

There was alot of refactoring when they made the game fully server authoritative. Some feature regression is to be expected I suppose. Game is still quite a buggy mess. But I am enjoying more mtx in the new 0.9.1 :D

As a Ruler should.

Kinda funny that the strongest build in both PoE and Last Epoch is totem-based. Even funnier how Shaman is considered the weakest class yet it has a build so strong it does everything (except for having a movement skill I guess).

Also, didn't realize exalted items drop so often. About 3-4 days of play and most of my gear is already purple. Pretty nutty.

Have not tested it in a long time. Are dot based totem builds still acceptable?

What i mean is either poison or frostbite stacking.

I assume that dot builds are still strong in LE since years.

There is only one good totem build in LE and it abuses the fact that when you resummon totems it counts as if they are destroyed, same way explody totems in PoE work - resummoning them destroys them. And this single totem build doesn't use DoTs

New patch soon, Runes of Power with the final/last Mage mastery Runemaster.

Has basically 40 different spell buffs based on the order how you cast your spells but can also be specced to be more random. Sounds interesting.

Watched a short playthrough of boardman and it looks for me like the usual Sorcerer but maybe it pops of later with way more skillpoints (he was only mid 40s).

Actually redownloaded Last Epoch again after watching the Runes of Power patch overview~

Game is looking really good

I tested the new mastery a bit while leveling as a pure fire Runemaster.

Even with only one element you still get 3 different spells depending on the number of runes. 1st rune is a spiral that hits fast and can stack lots of ignites, 2nd rune is kinda a mortar skill that hits multiple enemies and the 3rd rune is an empowered Fireball with a huge AOE radius.

Will later transition to generic elemental damage and pick the RNG rune notable from the Runebolt skill so i can just spam one skill but still get different rune combinations for different spells of different elements without a need to memorize rune combinations.

e:

Added some short (pure fire) Runemaster gameplay footage (skip to 3:10 minutes mark since sound is glitched):

I'm switching to Last Epoch.

I'm sick of GGG and their "make it frustrating design" and "if it's fun kill it" policies.

RIP PoE, thanks for some years of fun.
