[@justrobin8155]

Thanks! Picking a class is always the hardest part of starting a game for me

[@italianspartacus]

My pleasure brother!

[@xeakira]

Thats the best part about Last Epoch tho, it doesnt matter. Just play what you want to play (ranged, melee, or magic) and you will be smacking either way.

[@Sigh_Bold]

I dont own this game and may or may not pick it up but i watch your videos to the end because i love the way you lay stuff out and chapter it all. Thanks for this huge amount of work.

[@beatsbybigjoe6222]

Ive sunk about 1000 hours into D4, tried all meta builds for all characters, which isnt saying much since you dont really have a choice otherwise. Im about 20 hours into LE with the Acolyte/necro summon build and this is exactly what a necro should feel like. Im loving it so far; the build variety so far feels amazing and i dont feel the need to check for meta builds because everything feel viable.

[@erikguzman1640]

I appreciate the hard work you put into these videos!

[@italianspartacus]

I appreciate that! :D

[@JPEaglesandKatz]

I think this is the great thing about Last Epoch compared to say D4... Like you said, if you want to play a warlock with sommons you can, if you want to have this or that you can.. If you want to do cold damage you could..... So much ways to play and still be viable without following any of the 4 optimal guides like in d4 where everything else just sucks.

[@italianspartacus]

Yeah the variety is just so king

[@frequentsee3815]

It all comes down to the itemization. I was downvoted on reddit before the d4 launch for bringing up that the item chase in d4 was extremely flat & stale. The reason games like D2, PoE, & Last Epoch will thrive is because of the diverse itemization leading to the customization of playstyle

[@bigyikeschief]

I am so thankful that I have your channel as a resource for this game. I found you when you were making Baldurs gate content. And that immensely helped me when I was trying to get started in that game as well.

[@italianspartacus]

That's such a nice thing to say! Thank you so much!

[@kaiallen1069]

I feel like I remember playing this game on mobile when I was a lot younger and it was called discord at the time. Do I have a terrible memory or has this game just gone through some pretty major updates. Cause I also feel like the only classes that existed were blade dancer, mage (I think?) and warrior.

[@MedGoh7]

Shaman has been sooo fun with speccing into spriggan form and just casting totems that are turrets they clear out everything while you run around profiting very easy on the hands not a lot of clicking which is something that people enjoy! never had that much relaxed leveling/farming experience in an arpg before, very fun stuff

[@nostrum6410]

been trying to make a good shaman, but no luck

[@danielsparrow3767]

I like the way you present information, and articulate eveeything.

[@italianspartacus]

My pleasure brother! Glad you enjoyed it

[@theimmoralcookie6344]

Great video! Love the breakdown, perfect amount of time for each class.

[@italianspartacus]

Glad you liked it!

[@JCurry1123]

Rune master is probably the most fun. You can build 20 different ways. And just change to Melee Or arranged, and you can do damage over time. You can do big nukes, you can do. A little turret, that is super broken That just kills everything I'm screwing for you can have plasma balls or a virtue. There's so many ways to build a phone character in one class. It's so amazing to play with and figure out fun new rune combos. I apologize for my horrible run-on sentence and grammar.

[@italianspartacus]

Dance Dance Revolution: The Mage! It's such a fun class!

[@Kyroshi]

Thats my favorite class selection video so far. Thanks for the upload mate! I might go shaman, falconer or warlock or runemaster or lich. LoL... I am still cursed 😂

[@italianspartacus]

Mwhahaha perfect! hahahah

[@fightnight14]

I love your explanations. Great job

[@italianspartacus]

Thank you brother!

[@pierredeutschlander6578]

Watching this video makes me hope this game comes to console by the end of the year🙏

[@JahjuanR]

Thanks for the break down bro really made it simple yet complex enough to digest and get a good feel of what class to play. Earned my sub! Going with Shaman or Warlock!

[@italianspartacus]

Yusss thank you dude! We're streaming now! Come watch this shaman take shape

[@wellhiyadude1]

Currently playing a shaman spriggan build and it absolutely crushes everything. I summon 9 healing totems that also act as thorn totems and i can proc lightning totems with my auto attack. I have extra resistances based on how many totems are summoned so I am perma capped on resists and i get extra armor in form which lasts infinitely. All 9 of my healing totems are pulsing huge heals so if I dont get 1 shot i instantly go back to max hp. This game is awesome

[@DropB]

Runemaster, Falconer or Warlock. Surprisingly the newest classes. They might be nerfs in 1.1 though. Runemaster gains huge ward. Falconer and Warlock do *a lot* of damage.

[@raphaelng89]

One thing about the Void Knight you didn't mention. It has some sort of anti-synergy thing going on in it's skills, of all the advanced class skills it gets, only one is a pure melee. All the other skills are spells, so it has a whole mage knight vibe thing going there. If you are interested in building for pure melee, your void knight will be locked out of 4/5 of it's skills. If you go for pure spell caster, it's main DPS skill will end up being Smite because the 4/5 skills it gets are all DoTs or buffs. You can build for both, but like most veteran ARPG players will tell you, that will just end up neutering your end game.

[@italianspartacus]

great call out man!

[@Syrin23]

Warlock and Falconer currently are the strongest as pretty much the entire leaderboard consists of those two classes

[@nightpae]

Thank you for a good video, I has been playing like 3-5 hrs into both primalist(shaman), acotype(necro) I find it is quite good and easy to do the story quest. after I get these two to some good high level , I thinking of starting a range class either maskman,wizard xD

[@Crevanclaw]

Great detailed video, I appreciate it. I don't have the game yet but I'm soooo excited. I usually play as druids or wizards but every class/mastery looks so good! I have no clue what I'm gonna pick first!

[@toejetoei]

Great video, just got the game and looking forward to start, decided to try beastmaster since I've always enjoyed minion builds, and who doesn't like a wolf ore two next to them!

[@italianspartacus]

It's a lotttt of fun brother!! Enjoy :)

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

Started this game 2 days ago. My main will be a Sentinel Forge Guard.

[@christian_gamer_guy6447]

I'm excited to start this game, but I'm frustrated that you can't respec to an alternate master-class. I don't appreciate having to start 15 characters to try all the masteries...

[@jamesembry6721]

Been a long time. Glad your doing a game I am playing again 😊

[@ImLoomisGames]

Been playing this game a lot lately. Definitely enjoying the necromancer class and seeing how far I can take it before my minions fail me. Also can’t wait to try out the new mastery’s that have been added recently.

[@MrKsan05]

I just need to know which is the most powerful? I'm J/K I have 746 hours in Last Epoch and LOVE the game. Very good video, thumbs up. IMO, there are a few very powerful classes such as the Paladin and the Falconer, but all of the classes can become very powerful, even the Shaman.

[@Vulgaels]

Path of Exile with 2 coming and now Last Epoch, what a time for ARPG lovers!

I started a primalist with the intention to go Druid, but found Theon totem fun while leveling so went all in on the spriggan shaman totem fantasy

[@alirezahossein523]

Went in blind and building a judgment warpath paladin. It has been Pretty fun so far in normal monolith and will try my best to make it better at end game. As new player this has been very fun

does warpath trigger healing hands?

[@italianspartacus]

Thank you dude!!

[@Chasodey]

It’s funny how I chose primalist and thought to lean into some shaman magic but ended up with Diablo 2 frenzy barbarian but elemental focused with Tempest strike as main dps skill, gathering storm as secondary mana free damage, fury leap for traversal, war cry as stun and buffer ability and Eterra’s blessing spawning healing totem granting me a ton or resistances from blessing itself and shaman passive too

[@Bearyboo87]

Warlock! Put on "Hellfire" from the Hunchback of Notrodame OST and blast it until your significant other comes and yells at ye. This will simply make your life better even if you never touch this character again😊

[@italianspartacus]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@CynicVash]

ok ill get it! i was looking for a game that can fill that void of Marvel heroes, just afraid of getting bored quick. but its on sale so why not. thank you!

[@jaygerlach6884]

One of the better Marksman builds doesn't even need to put a point into the mastery, but needs the mastery unique ability: Detonate Arrow. . Using 2 unique daggers that turn Detonate Arrow from a range ability into a melee ability.

[@LakerTriangle]

Can you do a video on Resistance, Health, Vitality, Ward, and Armor and how the classes/builds should utilize them?

very informative video! thanks for the help 🙏🏻

[@digitalrob50]

Great video this is definitely helping me narrow down what class I want to play - try to say "high mobility ability" 6 times fast lol. GG - Machinegaming

[@aaleaa]

I'm playing as PalaBabaTimeWizard (Sentinel Void Knight), very fun in my opinion to reverse and freeze enemies in time. Also damage skills from Void Knight feels very powerful. I have also a low level Shaman. I love looking at fire tornado and lighting storms. I also love maelstrom, but it can use a graphic rework. Storm and maelstrom sounds feel a bit too weak in my opinion. I have a level 30 runemaster and the fire-fire-fire rune invocation sounds so much better than shaman spells.

[@italianspartacus]

Shaman should be getting a big overhaul soon they said, which would include graphics!

[@aaleaa]

That's cool! I'll wait for it and play with others classes in the meantime.

[@ParallelMango]

BLUF: The class you enjoy.

[@italianspartacus]

Absolutely!!

[@Shaddowxxi]

I've got falconer at 70, beastmaster at 32, and have plans for forge guard and necromancer because I really love pet classes lol

HELL YEAH MAN!

[@zerofsl8598]

Can we play multiple classes??

[@Shaddowxxi]

@@zerofsl8598 You need a character for each, but yea. You can't change a character's subclass so if you wanna play paladin and forge guard you would need to level 2 sentinels.

[@steveskeet1]

Play a Sentinel Bleed Hammerdin. Great single target, AOE, boss damage and very tanky. They say it’s A tier but honestly it’s S tier.

[@maranathashalom9402]

After fiddling around with a couple of Masteries, here's my ten cents (pun very much intended): - Void Knight has a lot of bugs atm, otherwise amazingly fun. The Spin to Win is cool, but you can get really creative with oneshot builds, dot builds etc. And you have all the Sentinel support stuff. - Forge Guard needs some love or reworks.. It could be so much more. There's definitely viable builds, but for example the pet builds have too little synergies. I enjoyed the Captain America though with flaming shields ricocheting everywhere and exploding. - Runemaster might be the best mage of any game ever. SUPER FUN! I think 40? different rune spells on TOP of the base kit. That's like 50 builds in one mastery. GO WILD! - Lich is kickin bitch ass, if you're a poison lover like me, this is the mastery for you. Stuff just melts! - Warlock - just like Runemaster - has awesome spells in his kit, that impress both visually and feeling-wise - Marksman feels very intuitive, impactful and is overall a complete success of a hunter lore class. Just shows how customizable skills are in this game, for example Explosive Traps can rain down attached to arrows with lots of synergies. Also has the visually most beautiful builds in the game in my opinion. - DRUID! My main. Wow. The most versatile class. Thorns Totems in Spriggan Form, Swarmblade Tornadoslasher, big bad bear boy. There's something for everyone.

[@italianspartacus]

I love it, great breakdown dude :)

[@maranathashalom9402]

[@jbvroxx3208]

Great vid. Thank you

[@kn0bhe4d]

If you've played Invoker in Dota, that's pretty much the Runemaster.

[@RonnieMcDee]

So I've been playing for about 60 hours. Just started a couple days ago. I have a 28 lich and I don't like the playstyle. I like the idea of using skills that use my health instead of mana but the reaper form seems like its just another health bar. Maybe when I get higher level it will be better but for now Im exploring other classes.

[@italianspartacus]

You can also play the lich entirely different, leaning into skills from other matseries but taking the synergies! But definitely experiment man!! It's so fun! I was playing runrmaster.. I liked it but it wasn't quite clicking so I swapped to shaman. Even though I have a near max beastmaster hahahah

[@RonnieMcDee]

@@italianspartacus Yea I figured I was doing something wrong. I made a mage thats pretty fun rn just hit 30.

I love Sentinel, but it needs a rework. You can see the old design philosophy in every aspect of that class, and then you get Healing Hands, the one new thing in the class. It's a breath of fresh air, but the class skills and other mastery skills need to be refreshed.

[@brandonkruse6412]

Best Mastery for a new player imo is definitely Paladin with a strong balance of armor, block, resistances, healing and damage. Defense is very important in the late endgame.

Nah unfortunately there's not a flavor for anything in last epoch. or Well i want to be a warrior or a barbarian. There's Sentinel, but masteries Fubar that with either holy fire warrior as in paladin, weird summonor, no thanks, or void knight again taking it away from a warrior. I suppose druid might be close to barbarian but that's shapeshifting and takes me far away from my class fantasy. it's really really annoying that the only thing as i can see it is a base class. and that's really not viable. Tbh kinda messed up as it's one of the biggest archetypes out there.

A memory leak that ramps up after about 2 hours and sits at around 10gb of RAM usage. Graphics setting changes that do not apply, like grass density not showing up at all after you change it from 'full' to 'low'. Having to close the game client to get graphics settings to apply and save etc ... I want it to be successful but after the D4 debacle and other games over the years .. I am no longer interested in beta testing for these companies for free either. If they come out with cash shop items when they have year+ long bugs still sitting there unresolved, I am done.

Move on to a different game. Last Epoch is so boring. Campaign is a tiresome tutorial that is a complete waste of time. End game is tedious with little challenge and no great rewards. Save yourself time and don't waste your money on this game.
