Last Epoch | 1 to 76 Burning Runemaster | Leveling Guide | 0.9.2

Video



WARNING: This leveling guide uses many uniques and is meant more for alts than a first time character!

Summary

  • This Video is a Leveling Guide to get you on your way as a Runemaster based around fire damage and mostly ignite fire damage over time. I’ll cover what defenses you should take, where to put your skill and passive points, and what idols you should be looking for!

Main Interactions

  • The Main interactions for this build having the right amount of mana for the job while stacking tons of ignite on the enemy through the use of several skills. Later towards endgame will become a fiery mess with over 500 stacks on a single target and spreading flames just spreading around!

How to Play this build

  • Stacking tons of ignite on the enemy through the use of Frost claw (Fire version), gylph of dominion, and frost wall enemies will be burning alive and then when your ready at the most stacks you can put on, pop them with enchant weapon to make them take 200% more damage all at once!

  • Leveling 10/10 (Fastest leveling I’ve done with a character)

Is there some weird interaction that happens with Frost Wall by taking Crackling Barrier and Pyroglass that I’m not understanding? Does this get you the ability to get Brand of Deception? How does it now to make it lightning or fire?

Asking because I’m at 85 with my Runemaster now and playing around with all kinds of stuff to see how it’s working. Trying to do DoT and maximize that with the new unique chest.

Crackilg Barrier does seem to be a rather redundant node given it’s (or should be) overwritten by Pyroglass.

I originally specced from the top down and just never took the points out, its not min maxed, but cracking barrier is not needed. Im assuming Fire overtakes Lightning in conversion since taking both seems to leave it as fire.

That’s what the node says, yes.

I’ve tried the build, made it to level 60 so far, but it’s incredibly squishy… Not sure if I am missing something… Are there other defense layers we’re supposed to have beside fire ward from the frost wall?

Do you have runic invocation on your skill bar and 6 points into the passive “edoct of the scion”?

No, I am following this setup: Runemaster, Level 100 (LE Beta 0.9.2) - Last Epoch Build Planner. However, I do have the passive “Edict of the Scion” at 6

Put runic invocation on your skill bar instead of teleport and you will start getting 108 ward per cast of frostclaw. That will keep you alive

I’m very confused, why do you put 1 point into Glamdring at lvl 35, then remove it at lvl 43?

Was going to build into the recast, but mana was an issue so we decided to change it at 43 lol.

Fair enough, though you might want to remove that from the guide as it’s unnecessary.

I would, but then its different from the video and i cant edit that so… then i hear about it from that angle…

The runic invocation with edict of the scion combo is a game changer as far as survivability goes.

I am still having some issues sometimes where I just die too quickly, I believe this is due to the incredibly low resistance stats across the board (especially physical damage… and sometimes the damage pierce my ward for some reason, so I have been thinking of removing the last step boots), but overall I can manage at least the normal monoliths.

Thanks!
