As long as you're OK with the slow movement while casting, it has a lot of potential and yes, it is fun!

I haven't played with a sorceress yet so it didn't even cross my mind, but it does sound like a great idea! I think it might work with a higher cast speed or a longer firewall duration. By the time you build up the attack the firewall is either gone or enemies have moved passed it. I'll look at it but thank you for the suggestion!

You could use unearth with power siphon and your 2nd weapon slot use bone blast. Also support gems that give you 35% chance not to consume power charge but still use it for the new bone skill and on the power siphon skill there is a 25% chance to get +1 power charge support gem.

@@roxoiva Looking at the passive skill tree, the assassin might be an awesome class for this skill with plenty of nodes in range for physical damage, power charges and a few cast speeds.

I'm very curious to see if I can get there as well.

Thank you for your support and feedback! I'll work on making it smoother.

@@THWolfGaming If you haven't started your next character can you make Crossbow without grenades? just Guns ammo (you can use elemental damage) like electric chain.

@@roxoiva I was thinking about a witch without minions (as much as possible) and bone skills, because they don't seem to work well as an individual build. But I never played the crossbow or looked at the mercenary (assuming that that would be my first choice for the weapon). No promises for the next character but I'll do it with the one after that, in a couple of days.

I think I'm ok with the overall choice as PoE always felt like a puzzle to me. And if it was easily obtainable, then everyone would have it all the time and it would take from the other choice of a simple one handed weapon. Don't get me wrong though, I really wanted to make it work on this character and I hate that I can't 🤣

😄I'll work at making it work

So on the episode that I'll post today, I'm priming enemies for for a stun using a one handed mace with leaping slam and explode them on causing heavy stun using boneshatter supported by aftershock. Works really well and it gives me an open hand to get a shield for protection. This worked better than expected 🤣Try it

Probably yes, all support gems i get across three tries were lvl 1

Probably so. They are definitely very rare and become very common as you progress through the game. I haven't kept a good track as I've played as much as I could since the release in early access, across multiple characters and threw everything in the stash. So it is likely that I picked one from there rather then finding it. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Mmm I can see what you mean. For the physical and armor breaker weapon set, I want the extra dps too. For the fire set which triggers explosions with stun, you might have a point there and I don't need it, so I could replace it with a shield. I still want to work on a dual wield as an experiment and try to make it work, especially because I will be able to go back and keep testing it as the game gets big updates through Early Access.

I'm really happy to hear it! I like working with this idea. For the ascendency I thought I would go with Titan as well for the extra bonus on small nodes and all the slam effects. But in the end I went Warbringer because I'd like to explore the amour break mechanic further and there are few interesting nodes on that side plus I want the jade protection.

@THWolfGaming Ok awesome! Even better because then we can see how warbringer works out compared to Titan for dual wielding. Maybe also show us some tough boss fights here and there to spice up the content, I think you didn't show a few bosses in Act 1 which I was hoping to see, like the count haha. Anyways keep up the good stuff man you really deserve more followers.

@@Raiethne I'll think about the boss idea for the future. Thanks for the support! 🍻

Yup! And I always find it difficult to let go and replace this sort of gear with something else 😄

As I've been farming around, I'm starting to understand what I want to do with it and also what I'm missing. I will need some skills from the higher levels, so I'm thinking of making some much needed changes in the meantime to improve the flow. Should be an interesting next episode.

Thank you for your support!🍻

How far do you want to go? Dual wielding two-handed weapons and invest in a lot of strength?

@THWolfGaming I'm in the level 40s doing two handed maces. Yes mostly in strength, Crit, and bit of attack speed

@THWolfGaming I don't think it's very meta build but it sure is fun

@@Raiethne Ohhh, definitely not, but at this point I realized that it doesn't matter in the long run. The game gets balanced so often and it needs so much work, that until the full release, I think it is better to explore as much as we can and learn from experiments rather than be looking for an ultimate build which gets nerfed in 3 days😆

@@THWolfGaming Yup for sure! Hope you have fun with this build haha

😆They never bothered me while playing, but now that I'm looking at the video... It's probably going to bother me in the future🤣

It is a great game but it has problems on modern gigs, crashing especially towards the end game. There are some solutions but not everybody seemed to make it work. Still, what a gem of the 2009!

Yeah and nowadays there are so many games I want to play that I don't even know when to do it 😄

Thank you for the feedback! A few people said this recently, so I'll start doing it in the near future.

It's looking great! I wish you all the best with your work and thanks for the support!🍻

Thank you very much for the support! It really means a lot!

🤣

That's quite cool!

Sounds good, haven't done one in a while. What factions would you care to see, besides what I already did?

Hey there! I want to make sure I understand the question. While playing as Memnon or Achiles (in your 2 campaigns), you would like to join Troy and defend it rather than attack to conquer or destroy it? Or are you thinking about just fighting a battle in the city of Troy?

It's familiar city builder mechanics applied very well onto a great idea! I really enjoyed playing it!

Yeah, not much you can do about it at this moment. I'm looking forward to the next year of updates that they have announced and hope they will be good!

I'm well aware of that!😁At this moment I believe that the strongest and most fun part of Last Epoch is the early game to the early late game with the huge variety of skill and item combinations you can do. The late late game is a bit of a repetitive grind fest of the early stuff, without an exciting return on time investment. For this reason I'm not doing direct build guides because I don't want people to follow it as such and instead I'm going through this sort of episodic progress where I talk about choices and the thinking process behind it, as more of a learning experience for the future, when the dev-team will be bringing improved content. Sometimes builds work late game, sometimes they don't but I'm definitely looking forward for the game's next big changes!

@@THWolfGaming Yes, cool, I understand. I also agree with what you're saying about early to early-late is the most fun. I actually have 5 characters now and only one is 86 because I was able to put in hours with a buddy to make it go easier. The other 3 all stopped in their 70's. I have a new one that just hit 64 or so. Sadly, two of them are Druid's and they one hit stomped by most bosses. I need to re-gear and mildly respec which is a pain in the ass with the gear. My acolytes can maintain distance and survive easer.

I would definitely love a game with the ideas you just presented. I really enjoyed even the decision of humanity on how to adapt in Sid Meyer's Civilization Beyond Earth. Unfortunately not fully embracing to go beyond what Alpha Centauri did. And I guess money is a big player in all of these, as there are many unique ideas out there on indie studios but not enough budget (and maybe experience or people) to fully realize them. Maybe AI will be the developer for many great games in the future. But I was thinking that in the past the craze for many themes was also driven by movies which were rarer. Or it was for the first time where you could build Egypt or Rome and see it with your eyes and have control over it, instead of just pictures you would see in a history book. That's why a few years ago when Elon Musk started all the talks and rocket builds for a Mars colony program, so many people got into playing games about colonizing and terraforming Mars. It felt possible and something we never delved in deep with our imagination. So as a conclusion, maybe we're overly exposed to many ideas from different media but we're not excited culturally at this moment for exploring the galaxy and how cool that would be. Star Trek being too old to be attractive, Star Wars has a whole different focus and there's little else that is new and interesting. What do you think?

@@THWolfGaming indeed. Personally i'm more of a fan of titles like Alien and Halo, at least until 343i took over. The idea of a unified mankind under the banner of UN was a thing too good to leave. While Alien shows the exactly opposite where mankind is divided and seeks only profit. And both shows such alien cultures and species that are fashinating with such concepts that before I was never able to realize by myself. It definitely marked me.

In my LE videos, I spend a good portion in the beginning talking about the passive and active points I've invested and why, in order to share my thinking process. I've never done a build guide so far, although I thought about it. The reason why I've mostly avoided build guides is because I love trying many ideas, even if they don't turn up to be ultimate builds. And I think that people who invest time in following build guide (like I did in other games) want to be able to beat everything in a decent amount of time. And I feel that it is not necessarily the case with some of my ideas and I just share the lessons I've learned. If you like auto builds with power scaling, check out the Shaman Melee Combat Spell Caster Build playlist I have. Go to the last episode and see if you like how it looks.

I really like the game so if people look for it and they want to see more, I'd love to keep sharing more.

Great idea, I'll see what I can do. And at the moment I think that trying out build ideas is the greatest part of LE. The end game needs some more time to improve in order to make it super interesting but I'm sure they find a way to do it.

I'm new to LE (coming from a decade of PoE) and so far this is my favorite thing about LE. Seems like, worst case scenario, transitioning has a very minimal time sink so if things don't go your way you can always spend an extra hour or two getting things back to the way they were before... Whereas in PoE, you can literally brick your build for an indeterministic amount of time, or in some cases, even permanently

I know, I have it as well :D But thank you!

This game was released in 2009. Historically speaking, most people agree that 2007 and/or 2008 (there's a bit of a debate here) was a great year for games. Many awesome and game changing titles came out during those years. Just google Metacritic best games for that time just to remember what released back then. So in my opinion, the game was fun and interesting, but it wasn't close to being great enough to compare to the games that came a year or two before, which people were still invested in.😁

Using the falcon fist instead of the beekeeper gloves might happen very soon, definitely not planning to use those for long. That is for sure a great point. I'm going to stay with poison for a bit longer to see how it all falls into place. P.S. I also replied in the previous video. I definitely find the fire idea super interesting and I'm curious to see it in action.

😁Someone else also suggested this a bit earlier. It really seems like a great idea and I'm definitely very interested in trying it out. Given that someone already made this sort of built with fire, I'm going to stay with it a while longer as to see what we can do with poison. Might not reach the same potential but we might still discover something useful.

I saw the modifier in the second ep, I'm farming now to find a shard or an item with bees on acid flask :D I saw that fire is pretty interesting, but I'll stay with poison for this run as it also seems to have a lot of potential. We'll see how it works in the end.

yah they did this and the build still capped out around 200 corruption, there is just no current way to scale the bees into super late endgame.

@@dane2379 Good to know. I'll try some stuff out for fun but I guess we'll have to wait for the first big bee update.

@@dane2379 Truth be told, poison dots seems to be suffering from some bug or something. I did the all infamous exploding arrow/trap combo as poison based instead of lightning. It can pop enormous ammount of poison dots on mobs but, too often the poison dots seem to be doing no damage what so ever. At one moment they just melt mobs and at the second, you see mob has like 100's of stacks of poison on them and big numbers poping but if you look at their HP's they are not moving! Happens too often to be enjoyable!

Thank you! I didn't know that and it's really good information to have!🍻

At the bottom of the screen, in the buildings menu, there is a barrel button. Open that and you will find two buttons with columns there. The simpler one is the painted cedar for which you need cedar and dye (for which you need herbs and rock crystals from the mine). The more complex column is ornamented cedar, a more complex production line that requires 8 points of knowledge from functioning monasteries and academies. For them you will need painted cedar and ornaments produced with gold, copper and coal.

I know what you mean, but I had a few moments there where I got really close to loosing!😄I think I've learned a lot from it though. I want to be even more efficient early on in preparation for the late game requests in the next map.
