Last Epoch
Best Builds and Classes Guides

Introduction

Last Epoch, scheduled for release in April 2020, is a competitive Action RPG with a Hack'n'Slash combat system. The competition in the ARPG genre is very tough, to say the least, and the expectations are exorbitant (Last Epoch is destined to compete against titles like Diablo 3, Path of Exile, and the new Torchlight Frontiers, after all). Developers seem to be up to the task and are preparing quite a refreshing, dynamic, and most of all, rewarding in-game experience. The game features 5 base Classes with three distinct and unique Master Classes available for each of them. The base class is selected during the character creation process, and masterclasses are specialized in via the Passives system (Passives tree somewhat resembles the old school World of Warcraft Talent trees -  his system is described in much more detail in our Last Epoch Beginners Guide).

In this Guide, we will take a closer look at each of the 5 Last Epoch Classes and their advanced specializations. Class features, flavors, and most interesting skills will be covered, and the backstories described to paint a general picture of the upcoming Game's Class system.

Note: All of the below-described spells and abilities have (or are soon to have) their skill trees that enable them to be modified in various ways, increasing their power, and range, adding bonus effects, and so on

Important Note:  Please remember that the Last Epoch is still in the early phase, and all information featured in this Guide is subject to change. We promise you to keep this Guide up to date with all new information that becomes available as time passes.

They were wrong, however, and some humans were still there, on the Void consumed surface, clinging to fading light of Hope, believing that not everything is lost. Those people have managed to stay alive by guarding the last vestiges of the dormant Eterra's power and staying close to its protecting light. These enclaves didn't last long, however, and the last remnants of Eterra's light were soon extinguished. There were only two survivors, a Woman and her Son who had found an underground passage in the mountains and managed to block it behind them. They were determined to die on their own choosing, in the total darkness, rather than being devoured by the Void. The fate was kind to them, however, and they stumbled upon the signs of habitation left by the people of the Last Refuge. Last Refuge's elders didn't kill them on sight only because of woman's druidic powers and her strong connection to Eterra.

The ability to make problems disappear is a very marketable trait in the slums of the Last Refuge, where the problems very often assume the form of people.

This changed when a strange woman in dark robes placed a bounty on someone that the Rogue knew to be innocent. That event made Rogue question her ways and her purpose in life.
