So glad your bold decision is paying off. Great job.

[@ArticulateArena]

bruh. 90% of the videos you watch for this game are offline mode where you can edit the files for the game.

[@ddartx]

That's one build I never thought would be this good! Congratulations

[@cheyennepellegrine]

Genio do Last Epoch.

[@jakegriffey4396]

VenomMcVenomface build looks very fun. Killing it Perry

[@BlabBlab4723]

I just started leveling primalist and was going for shaman but might try this build instead.

[@ArticulateArena]

it's great having an offline mode to edit the files for

[@MoistYoghurt]

Is there a loot filter cause im pretty bad at making any loot filter even with a video

[@DancerLE]

Hey, I like your build and actually planned on doing a similar build around the new Unique "Plague Dragon's Tongue". Have you thought about it? Good flat damage, Attack speed and some bonus Locusts. I just found it, and it does not give + Level to your Serpent strike anymore, when you use "Frostwyrm's fury" even though that node is only supposed to convert the bleed - not the poison damage. Feels like it is a bug

[@Naarii14]

I really wanted to do this build but I really hate how late you get swarm blade form, it's like I don't get to play the build until monolith. But I might try it again if I get the unique

[@Meoang]

Looks really fun. I always liked swarmbalde and I'm not really feeling my starter build this cycle so I think I might just reroll to this and try it out.

[@jots083]

I played around with on hit exploding cold thorn totems on my tornado bolt thrower shaman last season. Was proccing so much it lagged the game out. That explosion could likely use another optimization pass or else you need the beefiest of beefiest pcs

[@pietroblox1]

hey sir, would you have a loot filter for this build?

[@bbfan23-46]

Nice build. I decided to go this route. When leveling, what order of priority would you do for the skill specializations?

[@facehugger8995]

I thought this build was only good cause the spear summons locusts? or you spawning them another way?

[@jeremystern2260]

Im stoked they buffed it again. Serpent venom with 1k+ crit chance is the way i play.

[@PerrythePig]

where's all the crit coming from?

[@Fandolorian]

Do you have a Primalist leveling guide for this season Perry?

[@Capri28iss]

would be really nice if you canmake a build guide for this :)

[@Bakau681]

Would Legacy of the forest be a viable belt for resist - seems to be made for Sprig

[@pandaruuu2214]

can we have ur loot filter?

[@patryk2383]

Amazing stuff, trying to slowly follow your path, by the way are you using any drop filter that we could utilize?

[@azfanatic44]

The build planner in the description has a filter

[@drewzerTV]

good single target… curious how it clears though

[@SnoWyz1988]

On the planner you have all resist on Reign of Dragons, on video poison chance. Wich would be better in the end?

[@PerrythePig]

poison chance. I'm fixing the res in other ways

[@aza2k11]

sorry im new to the game and was wonder how to leveling this build thanks

[@aq7785]

Is the swarmblade form allowing you to cast (or passively use) serpent strike? Which avoids the need for a spear (required for serp. strike)?

[@PerrythePig]

yep

[@adriandraganescu6040]

unrelated to the vid but... how would you build a mage with Aergon's Fireball? Is there anything out there that's good? Haven't found anything myself

[@cykablyat6348]

ive been playing frostbite swarmblade this patch and been kinda miserable (missed every single ms slam on snowdrifts), how does this compare? more damage but no freezes and more comfy rage generation? + dont need to use uniques as much

[@eufirefoxi]

Any loot filter?

[@leonardocei7322]

how can u use serpent strike without a spear? i can't find a way...ty for the answer

[@FifaSkiller1337]

In Swarmblade Form you don't need a spear since it uses the Serpent Strike Tree for his Rightclick ability (forgot the name).

[@eigus1251]

nice vid. One question how do you summon the totems in aspid form???

[@PerrythePig]

4x1 idol, "chance to summon on hit"

[@Bakau681]

What is source of healing to stay alive apart form pots and the primal;ist tree every 3 sec? Cant see any leech

[@PerrythePig]

you're either a vessel + health regen build, or you're a bleeding heart build. I'm flip-flopping between the 2.

[@insertnamehere4419]

Leech affix on gloves. But a large portion of your hits (crits) cant leech with the helmet. This is offset by ward, and the relic. DOT in Last Epoch can leech, and DOTs cant crit, so you're still leeching a lot.

[@YakultLitro]

hows the run outside boss fight? like how does it looks like if you're being swarmed by enemies.

[@PerrythePig]

it plays like a normal swarmblade build, if you've ever seen Lightning Bug or Frostbite

[@cyanova]

On your planner you have 14 vitality but in game you have 48. Where are you getting the additional vitality from?

[@PerrythePig]

Just continuing to build the character out.

[@BenHell789]

I wonder how long it will take to nerf it

[@neuro1921]

I really like this build but is there any way to play this build without this, "extremly" ugly Tornado effect that stick to your character?

[@PerrythePig]

you'd swap in...Spriggan Form? I mention it in the Skills section of the recent YT vid "Venom Bug". thorn shield nodes, and you'd proc them off of the node in the Druid mastery. Not nearly as good offensively, but gives some extra armor.

[@danielkong5282]

do you have any levelling guide kind sir?

[@insertnamehere4419]

Ya, play bear or totems and hate your life for the next few hours as Druid is complete ASSS.

[@joshuac1876]

You had a 6mil crit..... Isn't the damage scaled through the DOT proc from serpent venom? So how did you get that big of a crit? Idk seems like something is bugged (no pun intended). I'm still making a version with plague dragon focusing on stacking just poisons with minions but I'll be honest yours just looks smoother.

[@HaydenJacobs-cq6bj]

636k not 6mil

[@joshuac1876]

​@@HaydenJacobs-cq6bjAt 7:25 and 7:26 there are clearly millions of damage on crits and non-crits.

[@HaydenJacobs-cq6bj]

@@joshuac1876 my bad thought you were talking ab the t4 Jules kill

[@hby7768]

what corruption can you get to with this?

[@JesMel777]

How can you use serpent strike without a spear??

[@PerrythePig]

Node in Swarmblade form.

[@JesMel777]

@@PerrythePig thx mate... I appreciate your good work, keep going :)

[@stepanttt2877]

dead build after hotfix

[@peasley5449]

what is the bestt way to level this now?

[@insertnamehere4419]

Who knows right? These streamers dont answer questions

[@SpoonFinder]

Why does it look like every single skill is autocasting?

[@insertnamehere4419]

because they are?

[@ausikc3530]

What level can you swap into this build?

[@PerrythePig]

as soon as you get Swarmblade Form. Before that, you level with "oh god please end my misery"

[@aeggeska1]

Show some gameplay pls

[@wisnia8139]

Planing beta :(

[@DefrostedCrabPiratel]

Need a bugfix to fix the bug :3

[@PerrythePig]

20 points if you know what the bug is! I just got confirmation from EHG on it -- there will be a dev post early next week.

[@DefrostedCrabPiratel]

@@PerrythePig Aww snap XD Good thing this monsterbug could farm Abberoth plently of times to get good rolled Nihilis and all the othher items. Gonna miss the damage. RIP

[@DefrostedCrabPiratel]

@@PerrythePig I would guess Serpent Venom stacks over and over again on each hit, even though it should only stack once? Thats why the damage ramps up to infinity

[@thebobgoblin]

@@PerrythePig wait does this mean the build is currently bugged to do too much damage? I'm confused

[@DefrostedCrabPiratel]

@@thebobgoblin Yaa something is bugged and doing infinite damage. So it´ll be nerfed soon I think. In what way we have to see

[@stepanttt2877]

[@leifarn1886]

i want play this build but hate the bug visual what would you replace that with? dont care if build becomes weaker

[@PerrythePig]

you'd play the whole build as a human beastmaster instead, using a spear. it'd be weaker, but sounds like you know that.

[@insertnamehere4419]

Stupid question guy. Then you would play a different build.

[@KazekanAgiel]

@@insertnamehere4419 Imagine being an ignorant dick and making this response after the creator already replied that it'd be the same build but weaker and in human form, with a spear.
