Last Epoch has been treating me well. The power progression feels good for the classes ive tried so far. The pacing is good too.
Did you play Path of Exile? If so, how does Last Epoch feel compared to PoE. My favourite aspect of PoE is the hilariously fast gameplay when skilled somewhat correctly and up to this point I didn't find a loot based ARPG that got to this point.
I didn't stick to PoE long enough to say i played it despite a frieng group playing, just seemed like a bit too much for the amount of time I was willing to invest on just one game. Im doing endgame on my first character and it's pretty damn fast. Im clearing empowered monolith maps in sub 5 mins. A lot of things one shot me but they're telegraphed and im a rogue subclass thats 8 levels below the empowerd monolith level. I love the movement skills I have available I feel like im always able to be flipping around the enemies.
Are there interesting powers? I want a hack n slash that has more physicality to the powers so there's more strategy to positioning and mob management. Like cleave powers that send enemies flying backwards, or wind powers that blow open a path forward, or time bubbles that slow enemies and projectiles in an area. I'm kinda bored by games that just have numbers tied to an animation.
Theres some cool stuff ive seen but Im not super familiar with the classes I haven't played. I got a rogue that drops turrets and a paladin thats throws tons of hammers in a spiral, so not exactly brand new ideas for the ones ive picked so far. Theres a runemaster I think its called where using certain elemental skills in certian orders lets you use a unique spell. Like fire fire cold would be a different spell than cold fire fire, and theres tons of combos for that class. I only know it from what ive seen others do, but for interesting a deep classes that may be the best example.
Want throwing weapons.
I know they're all just stat sticks, but one set of fundamental stats is missing.
