Last Epoch latest patch feels really good

The game looks cool, I'm definitely a buyer after it's finished. However, I don't like getting too involved with playing early access games anymore, because they have a tendency to change too much, frequently in ways I don't like. I got games sitting in my steam library that used to be early access that I haven't even touched after they went live. Truth be told, it's more likely that happens than not with early access games for me, which is why I stopped buying them.

How will POE2 and POE coexist?

Not like it's not worth the full price already, but that's a nice little discount.

So I've watched the 'teasers', read the dev blog. I have to admit, as someone who just fires it up to try big updates, I'm a little lost as to how this approach to dual-wielding is all that different to others'. I am eager to try it for myself, but the gameplay didn't get my weeb nitenichiryu twoswordsarecool! engine running. Probably a good thing.

Dual wield failed to make PoE's close quarters combat feel fluid or graceful, and Wolcen's already is (despite all other failings). We'll see if it can do that for the occasionally stodgy Last Epoch's hack and slash aspect -- not a realistic stance (DW typically added a defensive aspect) but certainly one steeped in traditional fantasy expectations.

Let's get Drizzt'd.

Dogma > Souls, but they're masterworks all. You can't go wrong.

I was right about PoE2 needing to be a separate, new game. It was really obvious.
Since Mayhem sucks this time, it's a good idea to check out the rogue class which will be released on the same day.

Not playing 3.20 - just a sm0l break, builds are still fine.

Good god the rogue is busted. I understand that every new character should be a tad OP but everyone was going to play him anyway.
Is he so busted he changed genders from trailer to release? Jesus, EHG. Calm your tits, guys.

Well, SORRY then. I will make EVERY EFFORT to be clearer next time. I guess SOME PEOPLE just need it spelled out for them. Because I'd TOTALLY call a Valued Poster, respected OG Exile and the CM of Last Epoch a 'shill' seriously.

Well I completely blew any chances of testing the rogue properly when I twinked the fuck out of her dodge rating using this ever-awesome crafting system. What a blast though.

Definitely going to be...rebalanced before long.

Well lets, see.

Insane dodge. I played until around level 30 and constantly had 70% dodge without bothering to gear. Add to this easy access to glancing blow and smoke bomb. I've never been this tanky, even with sentinel.

Ok, but then I had low damage? Nope, most attacks hit insanely fast and there is a node which adds 5 bleed stacks on every third one. Fucking five. Smoke bomb gives additional 200%. This is without bleeding from tree/skills. Easy 1k+ bleed ticks even in the early game with 0 investment.

Ok, but then I had shit mobility? Nope, Shift is low cooldown utility tool that gives you more movement speed, more dodge, heals you...

And on top of that we have what, shrouds? One adds even more dodge, the other even more bleed, the third one straight up negates any attack.


I suggest playing hard in the weekend, next week the nerf hammer will be coming down.
