Honestly the cleanest guide I've seen for Last Epoch. Knew most of the information but will definitely share this with my friends interested in the game.
Appreciate the compliment! Big thanks my guy
What did you not know?
A couple of precisions I feel need to be made :
- Damage over time doesn't work like in most game. There are two type : Skills that do damage over time directly (for example : Disintegrate or Maelstrom), and Ailments.
Damage over time skills scale with attack type (generally Spell damage) and don't trigger "hit" effects. They also can't crit (as a general rule, effects that don't "hit" can't crit). Apart from that, they mostly work like regular skills.
Ailments are effects that are applied on "hits", and act as a debuff with generally a damage component (but not always) for example : Ignite. Ailments are special in the sense that they don't scale with flat damage or attack type like Spell damage. They have a fixed base value, and only scale with Damage type (like Fire damage will scale Ignite damages) and Damage over Time. They are debuffs with a fixed timer that can stack (some can have unlimited stacks, other can't)
In other words, if you want to build around ailments, you don't care about flat damage, crit, and so on. What you want is a lot of attack speed (to generate a lot of hits as fast as possible) and appropriate Damage type (like Fire Damage) and Damage over Time. You don't care if the skill itself doesn't do a lot of damages, what you want is a skill that hit very fast (like for example Flurry).
- Damage multipliers : they are the main way to boost your dps, you want as many as you can.
However how do you know what is multiplicative, and what is additive ?
It's simple : anything that is labelled "Increased damage" is additive. It means that if you have 100% increased fire damage, and 100% increased spell damage, then your Fireball spell will hit for 300% of its base damage.
Anything labelled with "More damage" is multiplicative. If you have 100% increased fire damage, and 100% more damage to Fireball, then your Fireball spell will hit for 400% of its base damages.
So be on the lookout for these "more" multipliers (generally in the skill tree), they are the best way to scale up your damages. Of courses, things like crit chance or attack speed also act like multipliers.
So what's the difference between Fire damage and Elemental damage, if they work mecanically the same ? Well it matters when it comes to affixes that can appear on items. For the same level of affixes, you'll get a higher value in Fire damage than you would get from Elemental damage. As a rule of thumb, specialized affixes can get higher values than general affixes. that's why it's better to focalize on one specific damage type (like Fire damage) instead of more general one (like Elemental damage).
- Resistance are not as important as it may seem.
Don't get me wrong, they ARE important. However, they're are not as fundamentaly important as they are in other games like PoE for example.
There is one thing important to know : monsters get a systematic 1% resistance penetration for each of their level (capped at 75% penetration at level 75). And it changes things quite a lot at high level.
In a game like PoE, a character with 0 resistance will take 400% damages from the same hit, compared to a character with 75% resistance. It's a huge deal.
However in LE, as monsters at lvl 75+ all have 75% penetration, a character with originally 75% resistance will get hit exactly like he had 0% resistance, while a character with 0% resistance will get hit like he had -75%. It means that, compared to character with 75% res, a character with 0% res will "only" take 175% damages from the same hit. Not something you can ignore, but the difference is far less drastic than in other games.
In short, yes resistances are important, but not enough to prioritize them completely other the rest. It's at least as important to get as much life you can get, get to 60% endurance and 100% crit avoidance. Each class generally also get access to other type of powerfull defense. You can be perfectly fine at high level with 50% all res, as long as you have enough of the rest.
I was wondering about the ailments thank you!
thank you for explaining. It's nice to see that you can specialize in one type of damage like fire/ignite dmg, as POE does often counter builds as a trap for players who aren't alert enough or built like tank with an oil tycoon budget.
This channel is so underrated. A great comprehensive guide!
Easily one of the best gaming guides I've seen in a very long time, keep up the good work.
damn that is sick lol thanks so much brother, truly appreciate the kind words
phenomenal video brother. I've played LE off and on over the past 2 years and getting really hyped for 1.0 and this video is just what I needed! No fluff, straight to the point and informative, but also entertaining to watch with my coffee. Seriously, great work! Viewers can hear/see how much you care and that my friend will take you a long way. You got my sub and future support!
Wow thank you man, it means a lot that you could just hang out and watch with a coffee, seriously I appreciate you my guy!
This guide is awesome! Thanks to you I see that I invested in to many damage types on my skills.
Very well done! I really appreciate your clear, measured delivery and that you don’t rush through your VO talking a mile a minute. And very well organized video, too. I don’t have this game (yet) but you just got another sub from me.
Stoked you enjoyed the video :) Thanks my friend appreciate the kind words, as well as that sub!
What a helpful guide! I already was enjoying the game and now I’m really excited to progress further. Thank you so much!
Fantastic guide. I hope new players will get encouraged to play with their builds and have fun instead of sticking to "build guides" right from the get-go, missing the best this game has to offer in the process. Sub
Thanks for the guide, def one of the best I've seen! I also did not expect you to use the cookie the way you did in that analogy but hey it got the point across haha
Best video online for LE, period. Thank you!
Appreciate that my guy!
Thanks for the video. You just melted my brain. Just jumped back into the game for the first time since 2021 and there's such a change. (obviously 😀 )
Looking forward to 1.0
Cheers!
Wow this was a complete eye opener for me. Just picked up the game, and was feeling pretty overwhelmed. I tried looking at recommended builds and felt even more confused. The way you've explained everything in this video has me super inspired to just play the game my own way and try to make something awesome.
Awesome to hear my guy, good luck with the build! Have fun with it, Last Epoch is pretty lenient with creating a build you like
Simply put, we want more!! :) Seriously, great condense guide!
Thanks my guy, more to come!
This is by far the best beginner LE guide I’ve seen. Keep it up mate! I would love to see how you set up your filters or you stash. Thank you! 🙏
Stash/Loot filter video sounds like a good idea!
Great guide
Concepts were clear, with a nice focus on not making newbies feel dumb.
You just got an instant new Sub good sir. Amazing presentation, logical flow, easy to follow and comprehend. Will keep an eye out on more videos. Thanks a lot! 🎉
great video seriously. watched dozens of videos that explain loot filters etc, but not really how to play the game.
(The cookie) damn good Analogy for an Editable. You got my vote.
first thing to say is this guide is phenomenal. Great admiration. Second thing is hard to believe they made such good balance.
Thanks man, feels amazing knowing you enjoyed the video! Isn't the balance wild? Don't think I have played an ARPG with this much viable build diversity
Great video, relaxed voice and summary of the essentials. Will share. Truly an ultimate guide to get started.
Thank you my friend, appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Ive watched at least a half dozen "new player guides" and I got more info out of this one than the rest combined. Its not necessarily the amount of info so much as how easily digestible it was. Now that I actually understand some of what's going on here, you convinced me to buy the game.
Appreciate that man, thanks for chillin! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
You earned a sub. I'm about 50 hours into this game, and you helped me understand so much, thank you.
My guy, thank you! Glad I could help
Very impressed with this video. I learned a few things and I have over 600 hrs in the game. You earned my sub. Keep up the great work!
yo that's awesome hahah, thanks man it means a lot
That is some phenomenal video. It goes straight to the point and explains everything perfectly. Keep up the good work
Means a lot man thank you!
Love all the information you shared mate! thank you so much! Looking forward to play LE this weekend so I'm scouring for info. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the kind words my friend :) glad my little info dump is contributing to your info hunt!
Nicely done. You should have a nice spot in the regular review rotation for Last Epoch on YT. Might be hard to penetrate all the hype, but your content is excellent and efficiently useful. Thanks and good luck with 1.0!
Thank you! hard to put into words how happy I am that so many people are enjoying the content and gaining something from it, appreciate the kind words :)
Love it. Super excited to see what you make next.
Thank you man, working on some dungeon guides right now!
great video man, it helped me understand some things I had questions about. I am looking forward to the 1.0 release
Thank you my guy, last Epoch about to claim a spot with the big dogs of the ARPG games in 1.0!
Very crisp and well defined guide. Thank you.
The best video explaining all !! :D COOL
This was awesome… I’ll need to rewatch as I’m an older player but simply awesome starter video 😊
Glad you enjoyed it man! Thanks for the kind words
Thx for this- what a nice kind and positiv, yet very informative, guide. Perfect amount of detail. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you
Just got this game and got about 10 hours in so far. This guide was great!! Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you!
Thank you for the video, can’t wait to start the game!
Prepare to be stuck in a never ending build idea loop hole! lol so many amazing builds to create my friend hope you enjoy the game
I've been playing this game for a year now and all I can say, great info for any new player :)
Humbling to hear that from a LE veteran! Thanks brother
Valuable information for new players and old!
rlly nice format quide I liked.
Very easy to understand guide. I think this game is about to blow up. I think you have a very good chance at growing your channel if you just focus on guides and other videos for this game. Your voice is very easy to understand as is the way you speak. Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks appreciate the kind words!
Funny thing about the idols is that since D2 introduced talismans, I was preaching they should have had their own separate slots / inventory section available to arrange as you please within certain space limits. That would stop the very unfortunate situation when people fill their inventory with talismans because they are too powerful to skip. Idols and separate slot for these is as if someone finally listened to my prayer lmao. I love this solution so much.
Amazing, clear, and succinct video. Thanks a ton!
Not gunna lie, I had to google what succinct meant lol, thanks brother appreciate ya!
thank you for the awesome guide! I will start with 1.0 and would love to see more beginner focused guides. So maybe one for crafting, one for gearing, some overall game mechanics and so on!
Likewise!
Appreciate it man! Currently working on a crafting guide right now, as well as another dungeon guide my guy, Thanks for chillin
@@manarith8081 sounds awesome! I will absorb every bit of info until 1.0 release.
Great Vid Manarith. Simple but in depth, informative and not too long, keep up the good work!👍
Thanks brother appreciate it!
@@manarith8081 your welcome, quick question, since im fairly new to the game. I have seen a beastmaster cast tornado with locust swarm around it. Any idea how to do that, and note he wasnt in swarblade form
@@phillipfisher3178 Hmm as far as i know I don't think you can have locust swarm around a tornado, there's no way to grab swarmblade as a beastmaster, and swarm blade is the only thing I know of that can activate locust swarm
@@manarith8081 Thanks, error on my part
Great guide. Currently grinding through Grim Dawn, but might give this one a go in the future!
Oh man Grim Dawn, that game is incredible glad to hear you are grinding that out, Thanks for chillin my guy
Fantastic run down. Clean and concise.
Much appreciated!
Great video :) Can't wait to do some hardcore builds!
Thanks my guy, best of luck with the builds!
Quality content! Keep hustlin’ brother 👏🏼
Thank you my friend appreciate ya!
Great video man!
Absolutely astonishing job!
Managed to understand everything I need to make my own builds!
Can never achieve that in PoE even after 5k hours lol
So excited for Launch =)
Thanks my guy! Hell if you got 5k hours in PoE, you will absolutely shred in LE. Launch is going to be massive brother!
Really helpful video, thank you!
Excellent well paced guide. Thank you!
Thanks man!
I have always loved the idea of playing ARPGs, but I get easily overwhelmed by the affixes on gear and the massive talent trees (in Last Epoch, "Passives" and "Skill Specializations").
I ultimately start looking up build guides, and maybe find a few that interest me.
Then I get frustrated because I'm just choosing a build because it has the highest damage potential, and it takes away the "discovery" feeling I get from learning and understanding build synergy for each Class/Mastery.
Here, I find a video explaining exactly what I want: the ability to make my own decisions with some solid information on how to do that. I already had a good idea of how I should do this, but the author of this video does a great job of hammering down the essentials of how to create a build and what facets of damage and survival are the most important. At a length of 19:13, it still feels concise, and the author paces his voice well to where I don't need to rewind frequently to recall what was said.
Subscribed and I very much look forward to future content, Manarith!
Thanks for the kind words man appreciate that!
Excellent into to the game. Thx for creating it. A beginner's guide focused on crafting would be a good next video as a suggestion.
Appreciate the video suggestion! Absolutely, I want to start working on a crafting guide coming up, gotta make sure it is perfect, thanks for watching my guy
Considering jumping into this game. I’ve played Grim Dawn, PoE and D4. Nice video, earned a sub!
Another Grim Dawn enjoyer! Man I love that game lol, you will like last epoch, after hundreds of hours new build ideas still trickle in, thanks for chillin my guy!
Subbed 👍 good vid well explained can’t wait to start the game, keep eyes out for your future content
Thank you man I appreciate the support :)
thanks for the vid dude! Looking forward to this game when it comes!
You and me both man! 1.0 gunna be sick
Beautiful guide man lots of good information
Thanks my guy appreciate it
Great high quality guide!
Thanks my guy!
Great video, very informative. Looking forward to play the game when 1.0 comes out.
Appreciate the compliment! I cant wait till 1.0 drops, thanks for chillin man
Great video, very clear and informative. Thanks!
Appreciate the kind words thank you!
the perfect video does not exis.... wait!
What a good video bro! thank you for this
Hahaha stoked you liked the video man, for real I appreciate it!
Nice guide! Went into the game blind to get a raw experience but wanted to see where I can improve for launch
Link that build :) !
I haven't had the chance to create build guides for my characters just yet, but if you are looking for the hammerdin build you can find something similar on maxroll.gg for now! Thanks man
Nice video! i started playing a few weeks ago so this is good to see.
"the two classes that are harder to play in endgame are the shaman and the spellblade"
*looks over at my shaman and spellblade because they sounded good*
"....oh"
this should help me focus those builds though because right now my shaman is all over the place. Granted, I am also still level 33
Yeah Shaman is a tricky one, I think it is because it attempts to scale so many damage types in the skill trees with not enough defensive passives, compared to other classes. But I do have a friend that consistently makes some really good Shaman builds so it is possible! Thanks for watching my guy
Great guide! Liked and subscribed.
Thanks my guy
Hey, nice video. Very informative, something that I really needed to understand the game.
I have 2 suggestions about feature videos:
1. A Video about explaining what type affixes are better to get on different items. For Example: Its Better get Defensive stats (like resistances) on Helmet, Body Armor and Offensive on Weapons, Rings.
2. A video about Crafting, since that will be the most crucial part of the progression. Maybe few examples with Items that are worth crafting on.
Yo awesome ideas for videos, I am definitely down to make crafting and itemization guides! Thanks for watching my guy, I appreciate the comment
Omg you can make a Hammerdin?! I'm sold.
Great vid for an epoch noob like me thankyou can't wait for this to full release already over D4 S3 and its only day 3
Glad you got something out of the video brother, I can't wait either hahah it's gunna be so good
Just finish the campaign, didn't know the loot filter was in the menu thx for the tip
REALLY helpful, Thanks a lot man!
Glad you got something out of the video! Thanks my guy
Good stuff! Just getting into the game and this helped a ton.
Hell yeah glad I could help man! Hope you get a sick build goin
Man this has helped me a lot. Appreciate it. Subbed 👍
Thanks my guy, glad I could help!
Bro, perfect guide, im thinking of buying this game after this video
Nice! It's only gunna get better with 1.0 release
Good video. Thanks for making this
Appreciate ya my guy!
Great video 👍 yeah I am starting a new character come 1.0 so this helps me :)
Oh hell yeah man, I am so hyped for LE full release, the factions look interesting and I can't wait to try out the new masteries as well
liked and subbed, great calm explanation of the game's fundamentals
Thanks my guy!
This was a very clean and straight to the point guide, thank you very much for spending time on this in order to help us!
Thanks my guy! Glad you liked the video
Cheers for the guide, about to jump into the gam for the 1st time. I'm guessing you meant at 15:40 - "gives you the maximum amount of stability for that MONO*"
Thanks for chillin, and no I did mean the echo, each echo has a max amount of stability you can earn, so yes killing all the enemies will give you the max amount of stability from that specific echo
Amazing video man, keep it up
Thanks my guy
Great guide!!
Appreciate it, thanks man!
Good video. Thanks dude!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching man
Very clear general guide 👌
I played the early access for about 300 hours, I will delete all my lvl 100 and start fresh and blind, no guides. I cannot wait for 1.0 🤗
Thanks man, can't wait for 1.0!
What makes this guide so effective is the little details that are easily overlooked, like " be sure to do side quests to unlock all idol slots". Those details could literally unstuck somebody, ..like me lol.
Glad you liked the guide! Yeah missing out on those idol slots would definitely hurt in the end game lol
Great vid!
Thanks man!
This game has so cool Diablo 2 vibe, I saw this Hammerdin and shed a tear. Must play, but will wait for 1.0.
Oh and dude there is way more you can do with it, i'm doing smite but you can do void, or throw one giant hammer straight through enemies like Thor, etc, its badass
Great vid mate 🤜
Hahaha great name, thanks man
@Manarith Can't like this enough, thanks for a very good guide.
Thanks man!
Super helpful for someone like me who just jumped in a a day ago.
Glad I could help man! Btw there is a crazy minion build where you have an army of squirrels lol, look it up sometime it's interesting!
This is honestly overwhelming to a new player to ARPGs as a whole, but I am determined to be better at them.
great video
i never knew about the hexagon nodes and i have almost 300 hours is this game! great guide will be sending this too all my noobie friends at 1.0
Hey man i appreciate it, thanks! can't believe you didn't notice in 300 hours hahaha thats crazy xD
you know your having fun when
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
If "explain it to me like I'm 5" was a video, lol. Good watch, was helpful.
any chance that you will do a video with this build? I liked the hammer with lightning!!
For sure! Working on a few videos right now and the Smite Hammerdin build is one of em
Level 92 Minion Build, and stuck at Reign of Dragons. The Emperor loves one shot, one kill. Wicked video, though!
Send in the squirrel army! Thanks man
Nice vid. Thank you. By the way, that build looks fun. Will you make a vid with it ?
Thanks for chillin! And yes, planning on making build guides for the Earthquake Bear and the Smite Hammerdin soon
Here we go!
Where to!
Great intro
I want a build that prevents the cookie from being thrown!? Nice video, thanks. -subbed
That would definitely remove the need to worry about crumbs and pieces lol, thanks man appreciate it :)
This makes me want to go back to LE but I must endure and wait for the 1.0 release
Endure my guy, we are almost there!
Great informative vid :D I'm thinking of getting it when it releases. Quick question: Does anything other than the stuff in the stash affect all characters? For example, in PoE, endgame atlas tree and lab trials affect all characters. (Lab trials so new characters in the same league don't have to do them again) Another question: What class/class mastery do you think is easier to start with for ranged attackers? Thanks! :D
To answer your first question, not really, just your stash effects all characters, but having a high level character to make a low level unique into a legendary with end game stats, basically allows you to create powerful "Heirlooms" to power level your alts, like adding 290% extra damage to a lvl 1 unique for example. As for the class I say pick a Mage and go Runemaster! There are lots of very powerful and fun skills to use, definitely a great choice for any ranged enjoyers. Thanks for tuning into the video my guy!
