Just take Skurge's Ghostflame setup and combine it with Wraithlord's DPS(up to 11-12 mobs killed per second). Even better next patch with the mana regen while channeling buffs, altough you won't 1 shot bosses anymore by sacrificing 50 zombies.
🛑 Also about Wraithlord, all credit to david harbour for that unique existence, they made it for him apparently + you're showing a weaker version, a refined version can instantly kill T4 julra and go beyond 3000+ corruption easily
When i saw the thumbnail, i immediately thought about the healing hand build properly the same one i've seen from perry months ago. That setup was so fun to play, fast clear, tanky, lazy all in one.
Ooh i mainly used immortal frost claw build from someone named frostduke something something. It was excellent. Planning to use wraithlord next cycle depends on the balance changes
I call that first one teflon warlock, because nothing sticks to you, and those boots sounds a little like that. I played a version of it that used the interaction between Cthonic Fissure's Return Below and Infernal Shade's Combustion to machine gun Infernal Shade detonations. Trouble is, the interaction was buggy and didn't always work. It's still not fixed. Would have been insane if it had been consistent.
do you think frost claw runemaster will remain a top build or do you think they ll butcher it and make it unplayable for example by upping the mana cost etc?
I feel like Frost Claw will still be "good" in one form or another, it's just mechanically strong. Depending on how that new spark charge node in sorc tree ends up working there might be a oneshot Frost Claw build possibility, very excited for that.
@@FrozenSentineli wanna use frostclaw as my league starter but if its trash ill have wasted my time into a gutted build. i just hope they didnt destroy ones ability to climb high corruption, id like to be able to get to 1k at least.
@@SmexerP I don't think it will become trash, even with the ward nerf the build does lots of dmg, if they nerf spark charges they kill every other build that uses it, if they nerf nova directly they kill other possibilities, I would guess they nerf FC elemental nova proc and FC mana cost that could potentially bring the build way down without killing it and people might have to rely way more into mana management
🛑 About Nova Frostclaw credit to Macin Brzeski & SMK for the initial build conception. It was first constructed by them SMK even has footage of it in Last epoch beta way back Then other creators introduced it to the public then other creators & u started to refine it to what it is today
I did credit Macin for his work in 1.0 in the description, but versions of this went back before 1.0 and were theory crafted since the skill came out, the 1.0 patch just made it way way better and fixed the mana sustain. I couldn't really name any one person.
@@FrozenSentinel even when EGH will fix bug this build will be strong af still, 10 lightning shred, 10 shock, 300-400 armor shred stacks, maybe not 7-8k+ corruption but few thousands for sure
See I had planned to make a video like this recently, and went and did research and 2 out of 5 of them at least were bugged and I usually don't make videos on bugged builds, good that someone else did it instead.
Honestly I feel like every day I find out something that I previously thought was intended is actually a bug. Eg. the Frost Claw Gift of Winter thing; It seems to work according to the description but apparently this is a bug. Also the trigger bypass thing, it's been around for so long and been widely known for so long, apparently also a bug (this one makes sense at least). The only build on this list I personally considered "bugged" is the DA Marksman, this has nodes causing it to do something like 100x more damage than intended, the rest have "bugs" but definitely are small peanuts compared to DA or the old profane veil thing that got patched.
Good stuff! Sad there weren't any giga-great Primalist build this time around. Best I've seen are dr3adful's storm werebear and Cookbook's Scorpion build, but they both are a step below these builds I believe.
Ward will be more balanced - It will go down faster if u have more than 10k - so no more crazy ward stacking but if they want us to play more melee builds they need to fix hit boxs
We should get patch notes today (hopefully) - I expect FC to get a heavy nerf to mana sustain and possibly the nova AoE working on trigger. Also possible Runemaster nerfs in general, and also nerfs to ward sustain (confirmed). There may be new FC options though. I know much less about the other builds. DA Marksman probably nerfed.
@@FrozenSentinel I see, thanks for the info!😄. I'm trying to find some cool builds that can viable on 1.1. I guess I'll wait for now until the patch notes comes out.

General ward changes have been published in the QoL blog post, I made a video on that. There will be additional changes to specific ward abusing builds
You forgot the most broken build by far - exploding ballistas. First people to reach 2,3,4,5,6 and 7k were all exploding ballistas and only when season died and all ballistas quited after the nerf, after a month of them doing so that 8k guy slowly reached 7 and then 8k, when nobody is already playing for a month.

Frostclaw is probably my favorite build in any game ever - and thank you for helping me getting it up and running.

Yea if that build could do more damage while being immortal it would definitely be #1
For sure not nerfed in 1.1!
Healing hands is dead. one of the BIGGEST NERFS is not mentioned anywhere in the patch notes. did they just forget, or maybe hope nobody saw it?
I think there was some multiplier nerf someone found in the planner not in the notes
omg that was my main last cycle

dreadfull doesnt have decent builds
Which build will still work in 1.1 ? I've stopped playing Last Epoch during early access like 2 years ago so everything is kinda new for me xD
Patch notes today (probably) so stay tuned for that
Hi! So ur frostclaw runemaster wont survive this cycle? Any ideas about best builds for start at new cycle?
It might, we don't know yet. I'm leaning on not in it's current state, there may be a new way to play it though.
Do you think it will stronger Warlock or Healing Hands Paladin overall on cycle 1 ?
In Cycle one I feel like HH paladin was way stronger, the warlock didn't do nearly as much damage
@@FrozenSentinel what about on Harbinger cycle ?
We wont know until patch notes hopefully later today
Which of these builds are the best now?
Frost Claw + Static Orb ruclips.net/video/3PxO81rVxmY/видео.html
@FrozenSentinel thanks, a new list would be awesome
@@brunowalkowiak3432 probably closer to 1.2, not many people are playing LE right now
sub and like for starcraft music ;D
Is this list both for cof and market?
Yea
After the patch notes do we think the Sentinel Divine Bolts/Healing Hands is still top tier?
Tbh I am not 100% sure, pretty big hits. You may want to ask ColeClass in the official discord
Does all of this build survives on 1.1? or we don't know yet until 1.1 releases for patch notes?

none yet! Waiting for patch notes. Sorc and Avalanche both excite me

@@maximou3887 VK most damage and fastest mono clears. FG Better in arena and surviving bosses. Paladin Probably better with a ranged divine bolt build but it’s close.
after seeing patch notes do you still think it's top tier for cycle start or something better to switch to later?
@@Conseated Substantially nerfed damage and ward. I would say this is one of the slowest for cycle starters.
im sure youve seen the patch note by now, do you think the frostclaw build will still be viable?

Things like the stunlock will obviously be nerfed.
They mentioned a stun duration cap on bosses in a past blog post but it wasn't in the patch notes, at least not when I first looked at them, maybe they missed it initially
Ward is going to get a rebalance and won't be this OP, right? Probably gonna change the meta, also the Ban Hammer is gonna fall on some of them :D
General ward changes have been published in the QoL blog post, I made a video on that. There will be additional changes to specific ward abusing builds
Do we know yet which (if any) of these will survive into 1.1?
We just got patch notes, we can do the math but will need to see exactly how it feels. mostly numeric changes
