Last Epoch 1.1 - Frostbite Frost Claw Sorcerer - Maxroll Build Guide by

[@jimmydodopage]

Rocking this build right now and I must say holy moly. The hunt for the right unique is painful but very rewarding. Now I wanna play the game again as much as I can.

[@Spankify]

is it possible to push to emp monos without frostbite shackles and strand of soul?

[@jimmydodopage]

@@Spankify of course, the game gives you every tool to do it. The thing is, a good rolled unique alone cannot beat a well crafted exalted. A unique needs proper LP crafting to really shine.

[@ShaddyzZz]

Insane build, but requires a lot to get going. Might try it later this cycle, thx for the guide!

[@aligr3224]

you probably figured it out, but for anyone else, glacier takes you through the story and early monoliths where you can start using a filter for this build and farm up some starter stuff

[@jesuspavia9906]

Tthis build is not very performant without ligendary items, it is quite advisable to farm the legendary items first before migrating

[@aligr3224]

@@jesuspavia9906 while yes they make a big difference, you by no means need them to start out.

[@jesuspavia9906]

@@aligr3224 totally, it's just that it's worse than other builds at the beginning but if you want to experiment of course you can start early

Do you think sorc or runemaster slaps harder in 1.1?

[@isilanes]

Cool video, and great build. My current character adheres to the guide quite closely (as far as I can tell), but I have a question regarding the Twisted Heart of Uhkeiros. For the life of me I can not fathom how to not "kill myself" with it. Every cast of Frost Claw converts a % of my life (6% with my Uhkeiros) to ward, which results in my 1500 life going down to around 350 quite quickly if I deliver a sustained barrage of FCs. More life helps only marginally (as life cost is a %, so more life, more life lost per cast), and life regen can not sustain such a life drain by a long shot. Is life leech the key? How can I avoid my life going down so quickly?

[@Hofniel]

the sad truth - there is no way to do it with this relic. I'm playing a runemaster with the Heart, and I have to include drinking health potions right into my dps rotation - to ensure I don't get oneshot if a heavy attack goes through my Ward. So, you would probably have to do the same: do dps, drink potions, collect new potions from the ground (as the enemies start dropping them when you use them), rinse and repeat.

[@danypronovost3487]

hoo interesting ! think i will swap my static orb to this, GG

[@Kaiserin669]

How do you get that much ward? I have 340+ ward retention, 1.8k freeze rate multi and 85 cast speed but i barely see 3k ward, most of the time i have 1-2k, i know im missing a bit more of freeze rate multi but shouldnt i get around 3k+ with what a currently have? idk what im missing tbh

[@HEEROCKSS]

Has someone a good lootfilter for this? im really struggling with that and would love to backwards engineer this.

[@goosebottleYT]

why would you want 2k+ freeze rate multiplier? the boots give 1% per 10%, and i thought penetration caps out at 75%, so why have more than 750% freeze rate multiplier? I'm sure i'm wrong, i just wanna know how it works

[@shebaginyuushijin]

Why did you change this build for sorcerer instead of runemaster 1.0? How is it better?

[@aleksandrudovichenko9945]

Good day. That's why I'm playing the build, there's a big problem with mana, how do I solve this issue??

[@elpadre__]

why does the elemental nova in the video looks like it also deals fire dmg, while in the planner it can only choose lightning and cold version of ele nova? is that just a visual thing?

[@SebaLopez3]

The unique helmet that we use in this build makes elemental nova always being tri-elemental, that's why... It's called, Crest of Unity or something like that

[@amandameyer5976]

dude i was thinking the same thing, thanks for asking

[@bialyjanpiotr]

hey man when do you start getting 4k ward? what is the key? I'm stuck at 1.5k-2k after taking all the passives in the tree and skills, but I'm still missing gear. What's the most important gear to get my ward up to what you show in this video?

[@zakvancity]

Gloves and Twisted Heart relic + Int

[@AlmostProGaming]

I'm trying this build out this cycle, and I'm currently level 92. I am doing base 100 corrup monos and killing stuff fast but I'm getting 1 shot by the bosses. I don't feel like I'm generating enough ward (I only hit around 4k, and thats only if I can stand still and shoot which I can't because I get 1 shot) and my armor is only at around 500. What can I prioritize to become more tanky so I can tank a couple hits and generate ward through it like you do?

[@Atrigraphy]

Do you keep your buffs up with teleport?

[@nicholaiii]

whats the main diff between this build and glacial?

[@iFullgogo]

This is more min max end game build, this build requires uniques and good gear, whereas glacier is much easier but is also very good

[@Gavinbelson]

Will damage over time be helpful or only elemental damage over time?

[@Lithium_82]

How much corruption for the gameplay in the video?

[@clarau8897]

what's about INTEL STAKING in this build ?

[@senorf1re94]

The most baffling part of this build is how do you have 1300HP. I looked everywhere and I can't figure out where its coming from.

Can you play this spec as runemaster mastery?

How to transition to tundra nova?

[@Dreamagain11]

I cannot do that

[@user-ls7su2hi7m]

which is better, this build or glacier or something else, for a sorc

[@ferrite1707]

Glacier is the optimal leveling because you will have already been gearing for cold and frostbite. Once you have the gear, switch to frostclaw because it has a higher ceiling.

[@bijnov84]

where is the loot filter ?

[@Atrigraphy]

On maxroll

[@daqimber]

i would like to now why Sorc and not Runemaster. Sorc passives are useless in DoT build right ? Is Arcane Avalanche really that powerfull ? Better then Runemasters passives ? Second thing is , i would like to hear opinion about Frost Claw crit vs Frost Claw Frostbite

[@myzer6474]

I have that same question regarding Sorc vs Runemaster. Passives aside, Runic Invocation can actually be used whereas Meteor isn't being used in this build. Arcane Avalanche has value for the Freeze Rate Multiplier. As I understand it, you want to stack Freeze Rate Multiplier because Snowdrift boots gives you 1% Cold Pen w/ Frostbite per 10% Freeze Rate Multiplier. Plus, higher freeze rates means you freeze enemies that much faster which helps with survivability but that is my understanding of this build. Just not sure why he went Sorc instead of Runemaster. I'm kicking myself for that right now.

[@ferrite1707]

Mine is utilizing Archmage with Manastacking. Get the base cost above 40 mana per cast (remember, tooltips round up bit for the multiplier to kick in, it doesn't accept the rounded number so be careful with this if you are going to go my route). My FC is more of a nuke for single target, delivering lots of charges for my Enigma to ramp up with my Int. The biggest benefit from when Runemaster was the GOAT was removed (that tasty 30% DR). However, Runemaster is still viable. He just can't as easily push higher mono's but remember, since EHG gave some real diminishing returns for higher corruption, there's really no reason to push high except for the challenge.

[@antgonzo864]

May I ask what changes were made to have FBFC go from RuneMaster to Sorcerer?

[@alansonit]

Yeah, I'd like to know this. Is the runemaster build no longer viable?

[@Lukashoffmann94]

Runemaster lost the 30% dmg reduction on frostguard and quite a bit of ward generation.

In the "Frost Claw" skill tree, you need the "Celestial Conflux" node for a chance to cast "Elemental Nova" on "Frost Claw" casts :)

Im following the build, while i dont have the helm and the gloves i feel like my dmg is lacking hard, its nowhere near viable enough to easy clear without good gear, very gear dependend on endgame high level for the later tier 20 gear Pieces

[@ferrite1707]

The gloves are a huge component for this build so if you are wanting to copy this build, I would either buy a pair (if MG) or keep farming the the timelime boss until he drops them for you (CoF really helps with boss drops). If you have an Enigma, you can use Frostclaw to apply a metric shit-ton of spark charges and the Enigma boosts spark charge damage with int as base damage which can be multiplied a lot.

[@MikkiZHskDK]

im lvl 78 doing base 100 monos extremely well. i have the boots and just got the helmet while doing them, the clear went from good to nuts, im sure the bossing potential went nuts too but i was already melting them. the rest is some pretty scuffed setup in basically only my amulet as the ideal base, rest is mish mash of t1-5 mods that is 1-3 of the ones the gear builder shows, just realized i also only had very low res on my rings, barring mana reg bases, thats missing quite a bit too. you wanna press ice barrage and tp on cd for your buffs, flame ward does also boost your dmg a bit in situations where you can afford to use it offensively.
