    As an addition, your five slotted abilities don't have to be the ones you specialize into.
    As an example, I have a traversal skill that I just use to move to enemies. No need to specialize into it. And I have a skill tree that can trigger another skill that I don't use actively, but is still affected by that triggered ability's tree.
    It's pretty great how customizable everything is...

    One thing about the loot filter that I absolutely loved is the Level Dependency. Because you might say: "But I want Blue or Yellow items while I'm leveling up... I don't want a high end filter for endgame yet" -> Well, a good filter will have "Show crappy stuff if character level is 0-20", "Show less crappy from 21-50" and so on. Brilliant idea. An endgame filter could have 5 more conditions that also take you through the early game if the creator was thoughtful and included that. If not, it's not hard to modify. Anything added by you at the top takes priority

    • @arturvegis2571

      @@arturvegis2571 I also hate the fallacy of "If we do our jobs right, you won't need a filter" which is inherently wrong if you think about it, because unless you get an AI bot to scan your loot and read your mind you're going to be seeing the same drops that you saw at lvl 20 and you liked, because you were leveling. But at endgame let's say I only need a few item upgrades and obviously higher level/stats than you already have, but You'll still be seeing those items that you saw at level 20. That's why I think that the statement is wrong.

With old D2 people circumvented this issue by creating many characters, there is no reason to limit it too much.

    Small correction, while you can only equip 5 skills for combat, you do not only have to enhance them. Primalist for example has skills that can cast effects for other skills same as some of the others.
    So instead of equiping all 5 skills I'm enhancing I'm equipping 3-4 of the enhanced ones but since 1 skill can cast another I can equip filler skills for my build to fix the weakness. Such as for my primalist build it doesn't have mobility but since I use a skill to cast another I can then take leap for mobility.

    Its a solid game for sure. My fav is how you can link skills through the skill talents. For example, you can make Shift cast shuriken, which still utilizes teh shuriken talents...even though you dont even need to put it on your bar and just use it passively. Its a fantastic system.

    It feels like I have been waiting decades for PoE 2.... and D4 did nothing to quell that raging desire. But this game takes the mantle for ARPGs in 2024. They have done tons of 'little' things really well and I'll probably be on this until whenever Poe 2 does launch.

      If you got out ahead of the pack you were fine. The issues are in the server hand off from one to another. So if you got out ahead and were progressing you kept ahead of the overloading of the server transfers. I hit the zerg ball in the first act but got out ahead of it pretty fast and had a great time.

    This game wants to have fun and it does that right! 7/10
    This is what I can say after completing the game two times. If you are a Diablo player, Oh boy do I got a game for you. If you are an POE player, you can have some fun, but you won't get your fix. Overall, Last Epoch is a good game. It does its basic game loop (kill-loot-sell/equip/craft) REALLY well. Skills feel good, enemies and bosses are fun. But for me the skill tree and endgame are not really there yet, but leagues ahead of what D3 or D4 ever did. It wants you to have fun and doesn't bog you down with boring mechanics/quests/activities that are only there to keep you in the game. Wonderful to play games like this, you can install and have some good fun!

    Last Epoch vet here - that was a well put together first impression video, I think it presents the game fair and gives a good overview of the systems included.
    Little annotation on the skills (skilltrees) : not only does each skill come with it's own skilltree, but many of the skills do synergize with other skills - be it that you can trigger a skill via using another skill, or (again) change the effects of another skill - the list goes on. Good thing is: You can respecc to your hearts content, so feel free to experiment with all your skills.
    Word of warning: there is one major decision you can't redo after you made it, that is the specialization of your class (the mastery). So keep that in mind when you reach the point where you have to make that decision.
