Some users have looked at the builds of the best players in Last Epoch and are now wondering: How is that even possible? What is supposedly being played can’t possibly work. Now fans explain: The top players are allegedly cheating so that no one can copy them.
What kind of builds are these?
- Last Epoch has a leaderboard in the endless arena, one of the 3 endgame activities of the game.
- In the arena, the goal is to defeat as many waves of enemies as possible without dying. Our tier list of the best builds in Last Epoch is largely based on the arena.
- Through the leaderboard, you can view the builds of the top players – but fans say this doesn’t help.
That’s why you shouldn’t trust the builds: A user pointed out on Reddit that the currently best build in Last Epoch actually can’t work at all. The basic idea seems to be a ballista falconer, but neither the skills nor the equipment fit somehow.
In the comments, other users point out the reason: the top players allegedly change their builds retroactively. They would reallocate their skill points and wear different equipment just so that no one can copy their builds.
One solution would be to take a “snapshot” of the build at the time of victory on the leaderboard and, additionally, to ban equipment changes during arena runs, as in Diablo 3. This way, a build cannot simply be changed retroactively.
One of the currently strongest classes is the runemaster:
“Ignore the leaderboards. No build there is not exploiting bugs”
From other fans, there are darker forecasts: hardly any of the best players would be so high on the leaderboards without exploiting bugs or exploits. If you change the builds retroactively, you would get further with that.
This refers primarily to faulty synergies between items and skills that unintentionally multiply significantly. Eleventh Hour Games has already improved here in the past to at least fix performance issues.
The developers have recently confirmed that they will nerf OP builds if they become too strong due to bugs. According to a survey, however, players are against nerfs if the builds are simply strong on their own.
In the community, however, the creed is that everyone can best build their own build. A few general tips or loot filters from guides are indeed helpful, but almost everything you can play is useful anyway. Even if some bugs have apparently gained popularity: You can currently build strong builds in Last Epoch that actually shouldn’t work: “Should be a talent”
