I always love a good Chain Lightning spell, so I'm probably going to dabble with Lightning Blast for my first time playing the game since backing the Kickstarter so long ago!
My experimentation build is druid swarmblade/spriggan form swapper. I love a very active button mashing style and this gives me two different full skill bars to work with.
I work 10 hour shifts as a welder, so can't be bothered mentally to 'try' things and appreciate knowledge and time being put into a decent build guide.
Regardless of my work Im still a gamer at heart. I've played a bleed hammerdin and a bone golem necro when 0.9 dropped and had a blast. This time I was thinking something faster. Maybe marksman or a falconer. All the best brother!
I do 10 hour shifts as a cnc operator and feel you on this, it is so annoying when people push so hard on just “trying things”. When you have a limited amount of time you want to have something to follow and progress at a decent rate and not feel stuck later on or have to sit there and think on how to make something work.
@@mariuszel759 There's a reason you see Shadow Dagger builds everywhere. My falconer build recommendation in this video is pretty stock standard, and you'll annihilate content with it. Nice and fast, too!
@@tf259 hard to balance communication to a wide audience. A new person *can* have fun and just try things -- sorry for being annoying with the positivity
May your channel shine as bright as LE. you deserve it. thanks for the content. I'm probably starting runemaster frostclaw. I only played it a bit in the past most. starting fresh with the cycle.
For three days I've been trying different builds, with different classes, to see how I felt about them in order to decide what to play come launch. Only to find out I was more in doubt about it than when I started. I hope you're not too sad that I've only watched the intro to this video, because now I don't wanna spoil myself. I still don't know what I'm going to play, it's gonna be decided when I login tomorrow. And yes, I'm too used to PoE and afraid to brick my build. But I'll give it a try with LE this time. Thanks man, have a great start!
i can appreciate the inclusion of a vanilla minion build archetype in the game. minions are my favorite way to learn arpgs and they really really really fall flat in poe because of their high investment requirement and all of the mechanics to keep them alive and do damage. (fortify with kingmaker on ag, duration on skeletons/srs, betrayal trigger craft for desecrate/offering skill, etc.) so last epoch did a really good at making interesting minion trigger builds alongside the more vanilla permanent minions. i hate casting a bunch of minion skills, when im learning i just love walking around while my minions do the lifting. call me lazy, thats ok.
The first game that i want to try a melee character i saw one playing it going in circle and zooming xd , also i loved that you said i dont need a build so i will just enjoy the game
Im a d4 defector, and a d2 kid at heart. Scooped this up a few days ago and played a totem shaman to 34 to get familiar. I'm pretty fluent in RPGs and thinking druid or paladin/void night for hammers.
While Sorc doesn't have much of a class mechanic going on I still feel it is a solid caster able to keep up with other classes and gets a bit more cooldown and flat spell dmg compared to Runemaster. In addition to having a bit better ignite synergy as Dr3ad suggests, Meteor and Black hole are solid exclusive skills which bring some variety to the class(especially compared to Forge Strike/Smelter's ass). Fireball+Meteor Sorc is a solid build and the buffs could counteract uhkeiros nerf. Mana regen becoming more common should be a buff to Meteor builds too. I feel like Sorc is supposed to take advantage of the damage dealt to Mana as a defensive option(as Runematers have better ward gen) but it has not really been used much due to mana regen being meh. Speculative but perhaps the mana regen buffs can help here. I'm planning to mess around with Void Meteors next patch.
Hi Perry o/. In the updated Lightning bug build you changed Summon Spriggan for Ghatering Storm, right? How do we use Ghatering Storm transformed? Nodes like ''Energized by the skies'' and ''Rending Vortex'' are tied to Ghatering Storm itself and not Storm Bolt, so how are they usefull to us? Im probably missing something but I can't find it by myself haha.
Man I was set on stone of starting Lightning Chakram Bladedancer, but Rive Voidknight, Forgeguard and BUG sounds reaaaally interesting. Not sure now...... Probably Rive, since I thrive the idea of being a melee character just dashing around and, well... doing melee stuff. But will figure it out tomorrow!
Hi Perry, I heard that Aerial Assault was severely nerfed in terms of how "snappy" it is to use and that you will have issues using it to dodge on bosses for example. Is this something you've noticed or agree with? Any comment to relieve any worry about this?
Hi Perry! Will you release simmilar video but for theoretical builds that CAN fail? I would love to play some spark explosive trap but don't know how to build:D
oh I don't think it *breaks* the build at all. I just don't like Perma FW from a Design Perspective, and I'm glad they took a step toward potentially removing it from the game. I hope it does remove it, for what its worth
Werebear sounds excellent! In the description of this video, there is a link to my "Eleven" Video, where I call out Cold DOT Werebear as an amazing starter character. There's a ton of good builds out there, but I need to draw the line somewhere -- I can't just recommend everything lol
hammer throw smite void knight is stronger than the build youve highlighted. but thats more of a late game build due to the required smite on hit idol that is required. im a bit confused that u didnt show the holy trail javelin build tho which is litereally a 1 button starter build
I recommended Holy Trail Javelin last time I made a starter video, and I wanted to include variety instead of copy/paste content. ua-cam.com/video/ezFg-2vkVvA/v-deo.html Hammer Throw Smite requires idols, which are non-trivial for a starter build. I aimed for builds that new players could pick up and play immediately.
I'm genuinely surprised that i have not seen a single build recommendation for ignite glyph of dominion runemaster. Its very cool thematically, unlike any other LE build i have seen and its very strong in my opinion. Can you think of any reason why its not popular?
I can only recommend so many builds! If you're looking for Glyph of Dominion, I'd look for ignite synergies. One of the runic invocations just got a big buff for ignite builds -- I don't know it off the top of my head, but you can check patch notes for it.
@@PerrythePig actually now that I'm looking closer through the patch notes it got nerfed a decent bit. I was more surprised that no content creators mentioned that build not just you specifically. Id recommend checking it out though! It's gatta be one the smoothest map clearers out there
I'm looking forward to when all of the pretty old skills and masteries get reworked. I used to love Sorcerer back when it was the norm but now that there are so many skills with very cool interactions with one another and especially everything introduced since runemaster and now 1.0 old masteries like Sorcerer feel really bland in comparison, D4 level of bland.
Why play a sorcerer when you can play a Runemaster? xDDDDDDDDD The issue with sorcerer is it has no identity. And it's main defining feature doesn't work because of the lack of mana-building and mana regen passives in the sorcerer half of the tree. In addition, the only thing Sorcerer gives from a offense perspective is meteor that's also hard to diverge from the fire element without gimping it's damage. And then of course there's this weird multi-element casting the sorcerer passives try to encourage, but it falls completely flat. Runemaster did a far better job at enabling multi element casting.
Man, my first 'build' in PoE was literally just Ancestral totem with attack speed gem. I went to the game blind and I killed Innocence for more than 30 minutes. Sometimes, newbies NEED guides...
every skill have own skill tree so much diversity and so on and so on....all this heroes and whole game is playing with 1 button.....so much fancy icons and shit...but at he end of day ur pressing 1 button. sry runemaster, im not talking about you and maybe one more....rest 90% of heroes included with all possible builds are pressing 1 button...u can play this game on controler and android phone with 1 touch EASY
Are you planning on starting one of these builds? Have another spicy idea? Let me know! I love seeing what people come up with
I always love a good Chain Lightning spell, so I'm probably going to dabble with Lightning Blast for my first time playing the game since backing the Kickstarter so long ago!
I want to see someone who has more knowledge make a shaman gathering storm
Once i know what im doing with warlock, i want to try some chaos bolt volitile zombies, also with profane vale for more zombies
My experimentation build is druid swarmblade/spriggan form swapper. I love a very active button mashing style and this gives me two different full skill bars to work with.
cant go wrong with a good old bleed hammerdin, and then get in to the smite version. easy, scales damn well, cant really go wrong with it
Thing is, I LIKE following build guides. I don't care if I need them or not.
I work 10 hour shifts as a welder, so can't be bothered mentally to 'try' things and appreciate knowledge and time being put into a decent build guide.
I hope you can still enjoy LE! If there's one of these in particular that sparks your interest, lmk and I can give more information on it.

Your lightning bug build is one of the craziest builds I've played lol. Absolutely unkillable
I'm gonna start as Bleed Warlock but the temptation to play Beastmaster with Gathering Storm is very real.
Give in to the storm! Feel the lightning flowing through your veins!!!
Lol starting gathering storm shaman autobomber here
Gonna play one of your builds! Thanks for the video! Hope loading times online are okay 😅

Saucy video as always, I've been having to link the 11 video and tell people there's an update coming. Now I have to find all those people again 🤔
the 11 Video is linked in the description!
I didn't expect you to skip Sorc, mostly because I forgot it existed as a mastery.
lol

Hey, u have a Lootfilter for the Builds? If yes, how i copy it?
