Last Epoch Top 5 Builds I Recommend Starting In Harbingers of Ruin

[@hitofuuki]

Damn, I was thinking to myself "I know Forge Guard is said to be weak, but supposedly it got buffed, so maybe it's worth the risk" and you begin with "I advise you against it, but since you won't listen, here's one build for you". Thank you for consideration lol

[@jasonbonadio8870]

I played forge guard this cycle and to be honest with you it was actually pretty fun. And it was beefy before the rework

[@davidschwab7556]

good looking out, for the listening impaired

[@rektbyprotoss]

instructions unclear, rolled a forgeguard

[@Mooo105]

V o l a t i l e r e v e r s a l

[@christ3187]

I have to try it

[@NickMcMillen16]

Playing Forge Guard rn. feels terribleeeee :( might be playing it wrong though.

[@andrasszilassi]

Thanks for putting in all this work into your videos! Since 1.0, your channel has become the first place I check for LE related information. I myself am not a huge build crafter, but like to change up already proven builds instead. Can't wait to try out avalanche shaman. Keep up the great work!

[@nothing55rk]

That's to refreshing to hear someone younger say "I don't like telling people what to do" keep that up and all the great videos!

[@Elliott13]

I saw the channel post you made stating you are leaving LE for now and returning to POE for a bit. Sad to hear but ill stay subbed to support. Thanks for all the LE content youve done! Very helpful

[@Dr3adful]

I'm not going to be gone forever, I am just simply going to play PoE for a month or two, ill be back.

[@RamzaBehoulve]

Everyone seems to have his favorite FG build to try for this cycle. That mastery is rather unique in ARPGs, it definitively deserves more recognition.

[@OrcunO]

Thanks Dread. You are the number 1 LE content and build creator.

[@ZephWraen]

I planned out my build, hopped on KZbin, and noticed Perry was starting a very similar build so that's always a reassuring feeling lol.

[@nebulous7710]

Thanks for this, was exactly what I needed. Took a decent break after 1.0 so was looking for some solid choices to start for 1.1

[@lairizzle]

Dread popping off with the vids you love to see it

[@truskawka22]

Your videos made me go back to Last Epoch for 1.1. So far I only have a very legacy 95 lvl flurry-crit-dodge rogue, but will try tornado bear and compare it to the D4 druid overall.

[@NovembersDooom]

I think the shield bash dual wield shield with that new unique has a shot at being an A tier build.

[@belnoth9641]

I whipped out a D-beam and was very satisfied. It feels fixed and very strong.

[@GlorpShakey]

Started the cycle with your Lich build. The explosions are very satisfiying so far. Only level 73 at the moment. I haven't hit a wall where damage was the problem yet :D

[@masonclarke2657]

Really looking forward to your thoughts and testing on Storm Totem Shaman. I am currently running the build and just getting into empowered mono's. I'ver specced as much as I can into minion health and minion health regen but the crows are getting waxed when going up against a mob/boss that does a bunch of AOE damage over and over. The damage with Storm Totem is great just having issues with the crows. Don't know enough about Last Epoch on how to fix this issue.

[@Zordiak17]

good video ,thanks for the work, taking your builds/ideas into hc each league :)

[@benn1778]

Love your videos!

[@winyonzentrada]

Helloouu, love your videos and builds. You really like this game, it shows. I like that there is build diversity to choose from. Unlike last league/cycle, there was mostly warlock and falconeer.

[@travissullivan6575]

I was also looking at forgeguard, but doing a melee build (Multi-strike to proc forgestrike and healing hands (life), with healing hands also being used as a movement skill) and having the weapons there just as a distraction. Forgeguard got like an extra 10 or 20% damage reduction in the tree, so it seems like it can survive in melee. (it's pretty smooth from level 20 to 50, but that's as far as my testing has gotten due to toddler.) Seems like it has a lot of damage and it's not too slow with multistrike hitting far away targets and forgestrike's increased AOE.

[@RhebelGaming]

Thanks brother. Helpful as always. Im rolling a bleed hammerdin

[@ShafiMB]

What's your final opinion on the Frost Claw/Glacier Cold DoT build? Just didn't make the list or any reasons not to go for it? And also: How you feel about building it as sorcerer with the buffs in 1.1?

[@Dr3adful]

I would need to replay it because it would be better to play on a Sorc now which is out of the confines of this video.

[@ShafiMB]

@@Dr3adful appreciate the quick reply, will go for it on sorc and see how it goes.

[@mazzith]

Glacier sorc is OP. Leveling as a mage is pretty solid until you unlock glacier. That aoe spell ya get at low level is rocking.

[@Dartlin]

I think within the first minute or two of the video you decided for me that I'm not going to play forge guard 😂, I'm definitely going to go with beastmaster i was trying to choose between the 2

[@maelstratedoissieaca8241]

Thanks for the video 😊

[@Rhuowave]

Yes I'm on forge guard copium as well. How do you think bash will end up after the rework? Shield throw looks fun but I'm more of a melee guy so bash calls to me.

[@adriandraganescu6040]

What would you consider respectable DPS for a build ?

[@dok2k33]

U r AMAZING ❤ I subscribed.

[@Fandolorian]

I see a Dread video, I click and I like.

[@jasonmatthews8678]

Same.

[@Mas-ij3ti]

I think most people when they look at these types of videos are either A: New to the game and want a safe good starter to have a good time while learning the game. Or B: Looking for inspiration. Or C: Just cant be bothered to theory craft patch notes and just want to play a good starter because i have limited time to play.

[@fitbjj]

That's me. I didn't have the knowledge or time/desire to spend the time to come up with my own build. I'd rather use a build someone has come up with to give me something to with towards trying to find the gear. But as I play the class and learn it, I make adjustments.

[@fitbjj]

I'm going your were bear tornados build.

[@shadowhunter0]

yeah I'm still looking for a most play build well for me in d4 that is shred always start with that build even though I know its not has powerful has the other builds but it is the most fun for me or flicker sticker in poe

[@Rencol666]

im last epoch noob. I started playing only near release. My first character i made was beastmaaster, because i wanted to have a pack of raptors. Then i learned i cannot have a pack of raptors. I was so let down i didnt touch primalist since. And now i learned i can have a pack of raptors. I dont care how bad it is, even if i use it only to farm gear for shaman or druid later on, my choice is set.

[@JezzyHsu]

Remember to name your character Owen 😄

[@GerdionXT]

So many builds so many uniqs. I rlly like that super nova is no more top tier choice because that skill was to flashy

[@abyss5469]

i was hoping to see some theory crafting including the new unique black blade of chaos on a blade dancer :C

[@ericberic5052]

Dr3ad, my guy, my dude, my guiding light. If I may, please, please post your thoughts on Bleed Shield Rush? I heard whispers of it, and I was thinking the samesies. But you're better at making guides and I'm probably better at... reading them... and watching them...

[@chedamanamas3610]

Thank you.

[@botronnie3657]

im going to play youre sorc lvl build and then swap into manan stacking meteor build that allie crafted

[@vybuihbjknkml308]

Surprised to not see the scorpion build here.

[@Dr3adful]

these are builds I have played that I recommend. The builds my friend played video is going out eventually

[@vybuihbjknkml308]

@@Dr3adful That's cool man. I just saw alot of effort went into that build and interview. It was really broken down well and it looks very good. To me.

[@kailanirhys6107]

Damage taken as mana before life. Should help with things like Aura of decay as well, right? Or does it not help with self dots?

[@nerdedkyle3515]

I'ma go spell blade havnt ran it yet

[@BishopAspect]

what browser are you using?!?!

[@Quel_droma]

Is the Avalanche shaman playable without Spriggan form mana trick? I really dislike constantly shapeshifting in and out of druid forms, in this game and other games, but I've been yearning to play avalance shaman and having it feel good since 0.9.....

[@Dr3adful]

I would not play avalanche without it yes

[@jasonbonadio8870]

Disintegrate, fire aura, fire everywhere, death, lots of death🎉🎉🎉

[@marcelfloetgen1667]

IS there a way to play Tornado without swapping forms. I hate the transformations, they are so clunky to play.

[@Dr3adful]

I played tornado shaman without form swapping but it definitely took a lot of effort to maintain a large amount of tornados

[@Chan-qq8jn]

is marksman multishot build viable this 1.1?

[@Dr3adful]

It should be fine. A friend of mine is cycle starting it. His name is Trickster on YT

[@curlybloke101]

How far can you push the combust lich in cof without insane grind for LP?

[@ovis2375]

Where can I see your planners/builds please?

[@Dr3adful]

they are in the description of the videos I posted

[@synen]

Which classes are best with DOT in 1.1?

[@waldo2543]

why is there no video of you actually taking on the harbingers with these builds?

[@Dr3adful]

Because this video was made before the patch much like everyone elses was? These videos are always made before the patch. After the patch I have footage of the Avalanche Build doing harbringers currently, but I can't jump forward in time to go fight them before the patch is even dropped.

[@josephconnolly8493]

Any reason there are no Rogue options?

[@Dr3adful]

Because there are other people that cover rogue way better than me like Trickster on YT

[@KAJYT6969]

What is a good mana stacking sorc build?

[@riddermark1398]

I'm gonna do raptor gang, am I bad?

[@Sennzho]

Running shield bash forgeguard rn and wanna kms :(

[@pinchingloaf]

Dread stop telling me what to do!

[@majafarkhani87]

Tell me what to do I’m brain dead internet person . Ty ❤

[@Devonwilliams-zd1kc]

I’ll sub if you can lmk if Stygian laser warlock still good this new season

[@TalkativeTri]

RUNEMASTER IT IS.

[@spartt4360]

Don't understand how can people enjoy runemaster. Tried it- hated it. You cast 3x skills to create runes so your 4th skill is actual damage dealer. Feels like a waste to me

[@truuuupR]

Ugh I'm struggling to find the motivation to play this game again. There's just something missing from the way this game plays and I can't quite put my finger on it. Something about the visuals and combat feel perhaps. It just doesn't feel satisfying to play. All this stuff from POE 2 hasn't helped. It makes LE look super dated already.

[@bryanbryan6108]

Don’t say “of late”. Otherwise great video!

[@Zikkar]

No Hammers build thumbs down

[@HarkinsX]

so yer telling me shield bash even with the new unique is still dog shit???? fml

[@Dr3adful]

No shield bash itself might be good we just can't recommend cause it might not be good but there's a maxroll guide for it already so I would assume it's at least OK

[@HarkinsX]

@@Dr3adful oh hell yeah

[@POEGameplays-nt9hm]

hellooooooooooo kkkk

[@AbuEl-YedaReviews]

Halouououououo

[@GCorndog]

Why take stationary tornado? On tornado druid?
