My first two Legendary-required Builds: Reflect

[Zaodon]

hmm, I like it! I’ll have to work on a build… muh ha ha ha!

[Zaodon]

Here it is: Sorcerer, Level 100 (LE Beta 0.8.3e) - Last Epoch Build Planner
edit: forgot to alter passives, fixed now

I used a proxy shield with roughly same stats as new Unique since its not in the planner yet.
I decided to spec into Focus to deal continuous AoE lightning damage as well.

What is the new wand? I can’t seem to find it.

New Unique Items coming in Eternal Legends Update

Similar to the Sands of Majasa Update, the Eternal Legends Update will bring a large number of new unique items that will either help players during leveling or help create end-game builds. A couple of weeks ago we shared some of the unique items coming to the game in the next update, and last week our backers shared their own awesome and powerful uniques - Death’s Embrace by Heavy, Prismatic Gaze by woozel and Chronostasis by Corax. The release date for the next update is fast approaching, and…

Where is the new skill shown, or is it still hidden until tomorrow?

Which one?

Druid Overhaul Overview and Swarmblade Form

We hope you’ve been enjoying our Druid Development Week so far, and thanks for joining us here again for our biggest reveal yet. We’ve been eager to show you all of the major changes coming to the Druid Mastery in 0.8.4 and we are finally able to do so with the third and final transformation: the deadly Swarmblade. [Last Epoch | Druid Overhaul Overview] All imagery, animations, mechanics, and videos are captured during the development process and do not directly reflect the final…

Plus the reworks of Werebear, Spriggan form & Entangling Roots.

If you are talking about Thorn Shield, that is in the Ice Thorns tree.

I still don’t think there is enough flat damage reflect. At the high end you can get up to 400 (including legendaries). If you get up to 100 Attunement, you get 600% increased damage reflected. That is still only 2800 damage reflected. Pretty weak compared to a lot of builds hits.

Thorn Shield is one of the Spriggan form skills per the Spriggan forum update which gives armour & reflect damage.

Druid Overhaul - Spriggan Form

Druid Rework - The Spriggan The design goal of the new Spriggan form is to connect our players to the 'magical spellcaster rooted…

[darkdeal]

Well that is confusing. I hope they change the name of the Ice Thorns node that changes the skill.

[Llama8]

Maybe it won’t be confusing tomorrow…

[darkdeal]

I just reread through it. They are removing Ice Thorns completely.

Thanks for the clarification.

[Zaodon]

Ahh, then the wand does nothing for a Sorc build.

Thanks for the clarification.

They are not removing it until they have a replacement spell they said in one of the last patch updates or has something changed?

[meesterg]

@Zaodon

Low-Life Reflect Ignite Spellblade !

Just wondering (not bashing your build):
What is the reason that you have chosen Mage over Druid with reflect?
It seems to me like Druid is the more natural reflect option, especially in the new patch.
Because of the thorns nodes in the druid etc combined with the new unique.

[Zaodon]

Well, first, this was before the full patch notes, new shield, etc.

Second, in Last Epoch, “% reflect” only reflects the final damage dealt to you, so if you reduce damage to yourself, you reflect way less damage. So my idea was to TAKE as much damage as I can without dying. I decided Ward (with super-high ward gain) was one path to simply get hit/take damage but stay alive.

But now that we have the patch notes, and more sources of flat reflect (which doesn’t care how much damage you mitigate), I will work on some new builds.

[Llama8]

They were going to remove it in 0.8.4 but got feedback about that and are now not removing it until they can replace it with another spell. @Dobster

[meesterg]

Ah yeah that makes a lot of sense

[Llama8]

You may want to try a Spriggan form character that spams Thorn Shield (for flat reflect and an pbscene amount of armour). I’ll share the build I tried when everything’s released.

[meesterg]

iam looking forward to that build of you!

[Zaodon]

Are you saying that if you cast Thorn Shield 10 times, its 300 armor and 300 reflect (30 per cast) and it stacks?
