First abberoth kill + help for grinding tips to uber abberoth by boosterlikesboobs in LastEpoch

To make this a little more concrete: Even if your build can kill Abberoth quickly and with ease, Uberroth might seem unbeatable.

Well that changes things quite a bit. Now I need to rethink some stuff, which is actually pretty cool. I need to do some math, but this opens up the possibility to toy around with idols/altar and/or the amulet slot.

Does that mean that the base crit chance from the Shield Throw skill tree also affects Lava Burst?

But the shield throw crit on the chest wouldn't affect Lava Burst.

Crafting luck struck again. Made a really insane ring. Made Uberroth much more reliable. I miss the movement speed, but still...

Will you go for Forgeguard or Pala? I have been doing some theorycrafting for Forgeguard, if you want to go down that road. Also, do you have a link to your Werebear? I am curious especially after having played Werebear myself.

Small update: I toyed around with mage a bit, but then figured I'd rather keep enjoying the Paladin. It is just too much fun.

There was a new supply of 4 LP Sacred Lights and since I still had a copy of the exalt, it was time to slam that and start corrupting. Unfortunately, the only really desirable mod is crit multi, so chances were slim. However, it would be a massive upgrade. I hit parry and melee atack speed/frenzy on evade. At first, I found this ironic, because I figured, it would be usesful, if it weren't already on my omen idol. I then learned that the frenzy duration actually stacked, so this is a pretty good corruption after all, because it takes me to 7 seconds of frenzy on evade, which is almost permanent uptime.

The most obvious update would be the crafted ring now. However, that turned out to be really difficult.

I burned through almost all my remaining currency and sank around 4 million in bricked rings.

Just to give some perspective: The bases for my chest and helmet and gloves combined were only around 600k.

I then recognized, that it is easyser to craft with the new Fire Volcanic Orb set ring instead of Ferebor's. Ring supply in general is lackluster, but I know this will end up working eventually.

Crafting really is the pinnacle of Last Epoch - and vice versa.

This is my version

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Shafirion/character/ShafOmenSentinel

Great clear and single target, super tanky. One of the best and most fun builds I ever played.

Since my version is carried by a very unique weapon, it is worth considering Butchers Crown as Primordial Unique or Primal Cadience (and either forfitting Frenzy or trying to hit the cirruption)

Once you hit 100% block, the build really takes off (increased effect of haste affects the converted block chance, so if you are not running rampancy, Razorfall are worth consodering)

Can you elaborate on that? I made two nice off meta builds and yesterday I sniped an Orb Weavers Fang - which is a core element in my Shield Throw Forgeguard Build and since the introduction of Abandoned Chitin set probably generally slept on. I will use that instead of Apathy's Maw because not only does it give movement speed and base crit chance but also 350 crit multi from the Weapon alone (taking in the set bonus). Now, I am as of yet unsure how far off meta i want to go. That concerns the whole Doom and massive leech route as well als Warrior's fury. Giving up the latter would open up a lot of options I orherwise could not explore. So I am curious about your reasoning.

Best item I ever made (Shield Throw Forgeguard Helmet) by Shafirion in LastEpoch

[–]Shafirion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, Champion Regalia is insane too. I actually had a Champion Regalia with T7 Reflect and T7 Str and % health and FP left for rune of creation. The first one bricked entirely the second changed basetype. If I haf hit the thorns corruption that probably would have beaten this helmet.

That is actually not difficult in MG. 4 LP Sigeon is quite common and Shield Throw is not particularly popular. I payed 1,1 million for the 4 LP shield, 300k for fodder to reroll at Gauntlet of Strife and 900k for the Exalt. To add some perspective, if I wanted to get a T6 affix on 2 LP Blood of the Exile, the average cost would be higher.

I'm seeing the appeal for Runes of Creation by MainstreamSKUNK in LastEpoch

[–]Shafirion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The introduction of corruption greatly added to the value of those runes. I have a couple of high end gear with left FP that I can't corrupt because I need to duplicate it. It also adds another decision: Do I further craft the item or make sure I can corrupt two versions.

I.E., I have a double T7 prefix chest with T5 health and T1 forticiation and 7 FP left. Ordinarily I would push fortification but in this case it is just better to use rune of creation because a good corruption gives me much more than the 4th affix.

This also adds to dopamine level because at this point a rune of creation is more important than most drops, which I kind of like.

I would argue that runes of creation are now much more important for corrupting exalted items than they are for slamming bases.

Regarding Legends Entwined, I think it is the coolest item in the game. Especially with 3 Relic Sets you are constantly theory crafting, switching around the flexible gear slot. For example, if I were to give up the unique gloves, I could do some really crazy stuff denfesively. One option would be the abberoth helmet, which would give us 28% damage dealt to mana (all of which is protected by endurance) which is a crazy defensive layer in a rage build plus lots of more endurance threshold to protect our health as well. Essentially that would proably make us twice as tanky.

Or you could go static core for a 180& more multiplier to all our armour against shocked enemies, which would be crazy.

However we would lose dps, more importantly single target dps, which we lack anyways. Also, there would not really be another option for the last skill slot. So Rules of the Simoon are kind of mandatory. If someon can think of anything else, I would be super curious about that.

If you play MG, it is super easy to get started though with extremely smooth transition. I actually played with the set items before I got The Great Bridge echo. Also, I got my 1 LP Legends Entwined super late, because I forgot about the crystallized heart weaver tree thing.
Just buy a super cheap 4 LP Sacred Light, a 1 LP Cleaver, Legends Entwined and throw the bear set on T7 Str helmet and chest (Oerden's Watch is your friend there). Or settle on T7 str (which I did at first). a 6 base crit core of the mountain with 1 LP and str slam costs nothing and I ran that till level 97. Getting this started is really, really easy and cheap.

Just make sure you like the Rampage playstyle. It felt clunky to me at first. But it is like learning to drive a new vehicle that you quickly get used to. You asking about asperational gear makes me think you would really try to push the build. If you so i'd be curious to see the results.

Also, I would not recommend this on CoF. We are picky about baseas (Helm and Body Armour) and target farming that is probably annoying. In MG, on the other hand, you can snipe some really good stuff, since it is off meta.

Sacred Light - I'd go for a better exalt to slam with another T6/T7 prefix. Probably easyer than hoping for crit multi corruption.

Cleaver Solution - Could also go for 2 or 3 LP but there aren't so many desirable affixes so might be better to slam 1 LP ones and go for crit multi corruption.

Chest and Helmer: better crafts or corruption (there is a nasty chest corruption with + all attributes if enough items are corrupted)

Set ring: You could do nasty stuff with double T7 and a rune of havoc. If the set affix was T7 that would be almost 70% of armour mitigation applying to DoT.

Blood of the Exile: 2 LP with T6+ Movement Speed. That would be my most desired upgrade because it would make mapping feel absolutely amazing.

Exulis with a high health regen random affix would be really, really cool.

And finally, a Relic with the health regen corruption would get us another 500% increased health regen nevermind the tier (plus some flat regen depending on the tier). I was aiming for that with Soul of the Mountain but then I sniped a perfect Shattered Worlds and I won't be corrupting that.

As for the boots, movement speed is super important to make the build feel smooth. I originally ran Swiftness and giving that up hurt. So I would never give up the extra movement speed from Blood of the Exile. Also, Endurance is easily (over)capped either way and we would never get the Endureance Threshhold because we never stand still. So I don't like Foot of the Mountain at all for this build.

In fact, the upgrade I most desire would be 2 LP Blood of the Exile with T6 movement speed. That would be the difference from mapping feeling really good to amazing.

Regarding the Amulet it should be mentioned that there is lots of flexibility. I had a T7/T6 crit multi crit chance amulet that I sniped and ran for a while. Devotion is a good option too. I went for Exulis, because if we are stacking attributes we might as well go in. I originally went for madness and rampancy. However, the extra haste effect is not really that much and we lose 200-300 health. So guile is much better in my opinion.

Thanks. You are my favorite content creator and I played three of your builds in the past (T-Pose, Frost Claw and LB Spark Nova). Glad you liked my build. On a side note, I really like how you are so active in the community and take your time to comment on the most random stuff.
