Hi - this season I have played sabretooth, raptor pack/single, frogs, wolves and squirrels. I have also just levelled abomination - got there using skeles/golem. I have also played falconer a lot over the last 2000 hours.
Falconer is BS strong compared to most other stuff. It has mana on hit for your rogue, it creates defensive layers, it buffs attacks, it has INSANE damage AND it can fear uberroth to cancel his slam. Lets not forget its immortal and has awesome nodes like “attack closest target to me” kinda thing.
I don’t want you to nerf it I just think for all the harping on about balance you do you should even the field out.
I think all minions should have a fear somewhere in their tree. I think BM minions need more items/tags with “minion” for scaling. Abom and Falcon can just tank ubers slam, nothing else can they all die. BM QOL stuff in comparison seems under though out and neglected. Wolves/squirrels are super fun but need more damage. Sabretooth is suprisingly good damage but you need 34+ skill points to make it decent, insane. Abom you need 32. But falconer you can do areil assault/falconry with 26 and do more damage than the others.
Not to mention rogue has all the defense in the world and crazyyyy movespeed but with BM most of the time you’re leaping into a huge pack having to wear mountain boots with slow movement and using a relic without permahaste, hoping not to die. Rogue sits back while the falcon clears the screen.
I would just really like to see some love shown to minions OTHER than falcon, rogue is the most damage over and over again and has the best QOL and this season is no different. There are other minions out there and they can ALL die. Level them up, I beg of you.
More dmg and QOL for everyone! Except falconer he has enough.
I think part of this is just design issues the game has instituted.
Uberroth is insane hard, i think its harder then poe ubers tbh, and less viable builds.
And because ubberoth does such insane damage, the best strat for him is just not getting hit at all, good thing you can have dodge cap while also getting decent other layers on rogue.
Same with high corruption, after a point getting hit wont ever be possible by many moves. so dodge again wins, guess whats immune to damage? the falcon. everything else has to worry about wasting affixes on keeping minions alive, even abom needs to invest some stuff you minion hp/beef. falconer just has a pet that does insane damage, has qol, and cant get hurt.
lowkey i dont think you can make the other minions feel as good as falcon without the game just being broken.
Falconer is imo the most broken class ive ever seen in a game.

Well if they keep harping on about balance they gotta do something cos all other minions die even abom but none of them move the whole screen like that bird or do as much shit and have the same qol it’s wild.
Surely they can buff other classes give them more minion tags on things for options I know CookBook who only plays scorp and has an awesome build guide to help has a lot of things to add not sure if here or another thread but I hope he does cos feels like every season since I started rogues just getting more and more love. The season where BM has a pet who can destroy uber they nerf it to fuck. Falconer could already do 20 second ubers last season so they added more builds to rogue that can one shot him, its nutty
Oh yeah when I got this game 2000 hours ago I googled “strongest class in last epoch” as you do before you roll ya first char and all i saw were forums/posts about how over powered and stupid falconer was, this was going back years. So really EHG needs to step up, this season balance is the worst I’ve seen it since getting the game.
