[1.0] 10-25k WARD! 1k Frostbite Stacks | New BEST Shatter Strike Spellblade - Last Epoch Build Guide

I will have it still so much to learn hey guys uh new video for last Epoch in this video we're going to go over my latest character which is a spellblade using shatter strike um and mainly doing damage with frostbite and uh this build is uh sort of an older build one of the first builds I actually really enjoyed coming to last Epoch when I first started playing and um nice thing about this build is well first of all we have a lot of Ward uh we can get up to about 25k I've seen 26k 27k in some you know rare instances and probably you know you probably get 30k if you have a little bit better gear but so yeah basically very insane War generation and which is kind of interesting because you know spell blades aren't really known for their crazy Ward generation I think mostly people think like okay Rune Master is like the ward class and um you know Rune Masters definitely can get like you know 10 20 30k Ward pretty easily whereas you see most spell blades builds that are running around here like on YouTube and that kind of stuff they're at like 1K W 2K W 3K K maybe some of the ones with better gear like 6K Ward well this character like I mentioned is averaging about 10K ward in monolith and in you know Arena kind of maps where there's a lot of monsters constantly around the area we can get past 20K Ward very easily on bosses we're at 10 to 15 to 20K depending on the boss so definitely um just crushing it in terms of the ward numbers we're not really bug abusing we're not using any kind of weird wonky interaction that to actually get all this W all the tech we're using has been in the game for a long time and many other builds do use it all right so run down for the build it's a melee build right so it's a melee build it's a damage overtime build but we are actually applying over a thousand stacks of frostbite that um damage does feel fast it's not like delayed where you like do damage and just okay we don't count to three and the mob dies we're constantly applying our damage and things die very quickly uh one thing to note about the build is it is a generator spender type of build so we have our spending ability shatter strike and then we also have our generating strike Mana strike if you don't like that play style then this build isn't really going to be the build for you um like I said before this build can get crazy Ward values and does have very nice damage but it's not like going to be the strongest build out there I do think it is probably one of the stronger spellblade builds out there um I don't really think there is many Spell blade builds that um have the same amount of Ward generation sustain and damage combined so uh that's one thing to note if you do like these kind of like um melee Mage Sorcerers that are doing like magic damage and shooting like projectiles everywhere and from their melee attacks and all this kind of stuff you know and you're just like shooting everything everything's freezing around you and just dying then this might be kind of fun for you to play Okay so let's do some mon and we'll try to do a lagon 2o so you can kind of see the boss DPS the corruption uh we're only at about 200 corruption right now because I just made this character actually a few days ago so not really that high but I'll have a Jew R kill in here you guys can go check out if you're interested in sort of like a benchmark now one thing to note is since we're using all these projectiles this can get pretty laggy um it's kind of funny but that's just how it is but you can see uh this level of corruption we're just completely blasting everything um nothing really does stand a chance nothing can really kill you at 200 corruption because look at the ward we're like already at 10K plus Ward and another very big layer of our defense is since we have um we do have quite a lot of freeze rate multiplier so basically everything is Frozen as soon as we basically touch something including bosses we can actually even freeze bosses almost permanently um like emperor of corpses last time I was doing him oh here's the bosses basically he couldn't do anything he couldn't even get off his big explosion because I just kept freezing him over and over and over and over again all right so let's do lagon 200 corruption lagon all right should should you know what could go wrong right all right so things are looking good he's going to do his little ibeam we can just dodge over the all right let's move away from the I beam because that's something we can't really stand in and's see if we can try to get a th Stacks there we go 999 see over there he is dying pretty quickly as long as we don't get stunned like that um we can keep maintain over a th Stacks should phase him pretty soon I think he's going to do his I think um can we just stay here yeah nice so th000 frostbite stacks on bosses pretty insane and I think you probably get even get more but like I said my blessing isn't really ideal right now and cool thing is you can actually just use Mana strike and kill things I mean it is kind of slow but Mana strike is going to be proing quite a lot of things like our what do you call it uh Frost claw and then that kind of stuff and the icicles too I think a few of them maybe from the uh enchant weapon all right so let's just finish him off over here let me get stunned all right let's move over to this one here now I think he is like has endurance or something maybe wow that did a lot of damage the moon beam all right but wasn't really that big of a problem all right we get the blessing we see no we didn't all right so let's go over sort of an overview of our offense and defense how we're actually generating all this Ward how we're doing our damage and this kind of stuff what kind of unique Synergy is there and all this kind of stuff so basically first of all with frostbite there's two items that are very nice to use first of all is going to be the snow drift boots these give you cold penetration with frostbite per freeze multiplier or 10 uh freeze rate multiplier you can see we have 958 once we use teleport we have 1,500 um yes quite a lot of damage I've tried to do the math and every single time I try I end up just thinking okay well it's a lot so just imagine 1,500 freeze rate multiplier do your math and it is a lot of penetration guys so these boots definitely very good for damage uh if we look at our frostbite damage uh it is at 1,126 per stack of frostbite just teleport again without it 274 so huge damage increase from these boots um frostbite shackles these are first of all they're giving us 100% chance to apply frostbite on hit and in this build 100% chance to inflict frostbite on hit is more like a thousand um because we're generating so many hits per second that that 100% basically every time we attack is like times 10 in value so we got three hits from shatter strike we also have hits from the little icicle things that you saw from our shatter strike and from our enchant weapon then we also do have have about five hits let's just say all of them hit right we got some hits from our Frost claw we also have four of these hits now so like in the perfect scenario all of these hit you're going to be getting way over 10 hits per click or whatever per second or less you know but you get the idea so frostbite don't hit huge value and these gloves have 100% or they can have uh and then we do have a ward retention per 1% uncap cold resistance so this is about half of our Ward retention you see I have close to 1,000 Ward retention cuz I have about 500 cold resistance so our cold resistance stacking for our Ward retention if I take the gloves off see we go down to about 500 so this is basically doubling our Ward retention because we can stack cold resistance and gain a lot of Ward retention so that's the concept of the build basically and then we have the humming be swords why are we using these well because we're uh doing a damage overtime build we we don't care about things like flat damage flat spell damage just basically nothing for the build all we care about is attack speed for the weapons at least um since you can't really roll frost bite on hit on weapons then the only really stat you want from your weapon is going to be attack speed maybe damage over time cold penetration this kind of stuff but then again we already getting a lot of penetration from the boots so um well these swords have Ward gain on hit seven for you can get up to seven that combined is 14 per melee hit we're generating a lot of melee hits with shatter strike which ends up adding quite a lot of extra Ward generation this also does give us haste and increased damage with elemental attacks per 200 Ward so do get a little bit of damage scaling there as well aside from that all of our gear is focused on uh getting freeze rate multiplier for our snow drift boots we're also then trying to get intelligence and cold resistance to scale our uh Ward retention so that's basically the main stats um frostbite on hit uh attack speed for damage there's also like cold penetration with frostbite there's frostbite duration but I do think these Idols are the better ones with the ones with frostbite on hit um and then after that we're um getting a little bit of coold down reduction so we can get a decent cool down on our enchant weapon and teleport flame Ward um and then for um defensive stats intelligence cold reses now if you're wondering which one is better at t7 intelligence is quite expensive especially on these opal rings well exalted cold resistance is pretty much the exact same value or a little bit more for re W retention you're just going to be losing out a little bit of increased damage from the intelligence so uh intelligence end of the day is the better one to go for but if you're on a budget cold resistance is going to give the same result all right so all of this gear and stuff will be in the planner also have a budget one you could say one that isn't running these kind of like exalted items or like rare items and I'm also going to be having um PS or not pobs planner links for when I was leveling so when I was leveling this build I exported my character every like 20 levels or whenever I remembered so we have a few um like snapshots of what I was doing what gear I was wearing and this kind of stuff so you can go check those out if you're interested and um yeah pretty fun build uh can do it with almost zero gear all you need is the two swords and the boots the boots and the sword are very very common items so should be easy to get okay so let's go over some of the skills we're using uh first of all the big boy shatter strike you got tool tip is actually pretty crazy for a DOT build 180 uh estimated damage per second and you know what's funny is I've seen crit builds with this number so um definitely pumping out the DPS on our shatter strike um and then so let's just see what we're doing basically first thing I like to do is is um I go for the spikes cuz these are huge uh clear um and then we go for the recast go for the Mana efficiency attack speed now I have a plus three shatter strike chest and if you didn't have these points well the only thing you're going to lose is two points here and then you can decide do you want to have more Mana efficiency and Ward on hit or attack speed or icicle travel speed and projectile uh damage the damage doesn't really matter but I guess the it does kind of apply to the frostbite they inflict so maybe this is kind of nice and the projectile speed definitely is nice you can see they are shooting out very very quickly so i' I'd probably drop I guess yeah I'd probably drop the Mana efficiency that's probably the one to go for if you don't really care about damage but you know we'll go over the gear in a little bit basically so that's shatter strike uh Mana strike we're coming this way here all the way here we want to Max this area out here uh critical Rejuvenation with the critical Mana so we get a lot of Mana back on critical hits this it works if you hit multiple enemies so if we hit two enemies and they both crit that's 30 Mana instead of just 15 so huge value out of this after that we're going to Max our area cuz if we look at manast strikes area it is very small even with the maxed out five points and you notice that it's not very far from your character so you have to run up pretty close to things to actually hit them with Mana strike so getting area is going to be a huge uh quality of life so I recommend you do that as soon as possible possible even over attack speed or more damage or increased damage area is uh what you want after that we're going to max out the Mana drain and then go to arcan display just basically get our Mana strike to enough area that it feels okay to use in melee and then max out the amount of Mana we can gain from it okay enchant weapon uh we're just going to go for uh the attack speed duration ice spikes now the ice spikes that we get from this there's a node here to the Bone so icicles now Pierce this also does affect the icicles from shatter strike so the shatter strike icicles are now also going to be piercing which is very cool um after that I just went to the reduced Mana cost since we are not running a lot of Mana having a zero cost enchant weapon is very nice very important as well makes things feel a lot more consistent okay so there is no need to actually get cleanse from your enchant weapon because uh we're going to be using frostclaw Frost claw does provide us with a cleanse every time it procs so I think yeah let's go over Frost CL claw next we are first going to make a proc on melee hits we're going to the no burst so all the projectiles can hit then we're going to run up here and get the frostbite on hit and then the Frozen sleeper for a little bit of extra clear I mean not really super these points aren't super important but I kind of think it looks cool okay after that uh I'm using teleport right now um for one one reason the only reason we're using it is for frigid departure this gives us a 600% increased freeze rate multiplier so we saw before um our Frost bites are doing 800 damage for snack after we teleport 1,100 so it's huge damage increase you know just from uh this note here so that's why we're using teleport um if we wasn't using teleport I was actually doing Frost claw and then proing the ice barrage with frost claw which was really cool because first of all this makes a lot generates a lot of hits so you get a lot of frost bites attacks with this then you get to have this ice Shield so ice Shield it gives you like you know some nice Buffs it blocks projectiles um and then while you have ice Shield you can take these nodes here there's less coal damage taken and more Global coal damage this goes up to 60% more damage pretty cool downside is um ice barrage costs 50 Mana so every time you proc it you just like boom huge chunk of your Mana is gone which could be used for more shatter strikes and end of the day it was just like I don't know I didn't really like it that much Mana drain was kind of hard to deal with and you know teleport does give quite a lot of damage with this note as well so that's why I'm using in the future in higher corruption if I wanted to go to like past 500 probably would have to either remove frostclaw or teleport to go for flame Ward for the additional defense but you know we'll see so that's kind of the setup now you could do you know this teleport Frost claw setup like I'm doing or you could do a frostclaw flame W setup if you want none of these are mandatory like these three are the main skills the other two you can sub out do whatever you want you could do you know the ice barrage FL Frost claw setup you can even just go for a static orb flame Rush setup which is kind of cool so you set up flame rush to go to cold then you have it um cast static orb and the reason you do static orb is because you'll get lightning ages for reduce damage taken you can also then convert it to cold and have it orbit around you so it's just going to like go like this spin around you and keep going till it explodes and it's going to provide a lot of extra clear because it's going to be applying a decent amount of frost bite stacks and this kind of stuff so a lot of flex slots for the last two okay so let's go over the gearing the important part of the gear uh let's start off with the weapons the weapons you do want to get attack speed on these that's the main important stat like I said you could get you know cold pen or increased damage uh Elemental damage over time Elemental damage damage cold damage um but but you know the important thing is the attack speed uh after that for the actual unique roles you want to prioritize the ward gained on melee hit get up to seven on these so try to get these as high as possible that should be the priority even over the attack speed you can see I already have 250% increase attack speed so at this point getting the ward gain on hit is going to be more of a priority I think the helmet um cool down recovery base the exalted AIX you probably want is going to be intelligence or cold resistance or frostbite on hit uh that's sort of the better ones then just kind of um mainly want to try focusing on getting cold res right so first of all cap your resistances and then every other suffix goes to cold res basically either cold res or armor wherever you can get it so that's kind of the name of the game for the amulet I decided to go for the Oracle amulet for the less damage taken over time um there's a lot of good affixes you can get like for exalted affixes like Elemental Dam over time which is a very big role when it's t7 there is the cold penetration there's the freeze rate multiplier I think freeze rate multiplier is actually more penetration than the actual cold penetration roll so get that or you can go for exalted cold resistance which going to give you more Ward retention for the body armor I do have a plus three shatter strike but I do think getting a exalted t7 intelligence is the way to go it's going to give you a lot more value you do want to get it on the freeze rate multiplier base so it's going to be a celestial reignment cuz freeze rate multiplier is more cold penetration for the Rings uh opal rings or silver rings cuz move speed uh Mobility extremely important on melee characters so uh either if you want more move speed go for silver rings if you want cool down recovery for your enchant weapon and teleport then go for opal rings we want either intelligence um freeze rate multiplier or cold resistance exalted and the rest is going to be ideally you have something like this right so freeze right multiplier until Ence cold resistance all resistance is kind of what you want for the belt you're going to use a spider silk stash so we get some poison res and cold res more war retention Elemental damage over time I have that on M but ideally you want the cool down recovery speed exalted then resistance and just some damage that there is a freeze rate multiplier and cast Frozen Concoction that's probably going to be one of the ones you want that can roll pretty high uh for the uh Relic we're going to be using an elder ey Cuz it's has freeze rate multiplier on it and then you want either exalted intelligence or exalted cold reses you can get your Frailty here either on here or on your amulet or on your sword if you slap one on there uh for the boots movement speed all right so these boots don't have movement speed on them if you look at it very or very low so prioritize getting movement speed on here and then either yeah intelligence or cold res is probably or CDR is the way to go uh for Idols uh Throne of ambition very good if you have one if you don't all your Idols are going to be the same frostbite on H and cold resistance you see you know might notice the theme here uh and then for your small Idols Ward retention cold resistance Ward retention cold resistance they're all the same so that is sort of the gear I don't know kind of simple but kind of hard to find sometimes these pieces like we said we're focusing on getting cold resistance intelligence frostbite on hit basically if you to break it down that's three main stats oh and attack speed okay blessings I don't have the right ones yet but let's just go over them so void resistance uh I have increased coal damage right basically you want the freeze rate multiplier I've been trying to get this from lagon he's been a bad boy he hasn't been giving it to me so going to keep farming him rain of dragons all resistances age of winter right now I have cold tread but there is frostbite on hit is going to be kind of nice uh so either one of those either cold res shred or Frost spite on hit uh armor from the spirits of fire and that's the blessings I think yeah yep so that's all the blessings and the gear we went over the skills we went over the gear the idols the blessings okay so let's go over some of the passives and stuff like that I won't really go that much in detail because uh there's not really that much to say and I'll have everything Linked In the description in the planner so you go check that out Hey so uh warden's Echo basically this just generates extra hits which uh apply extra frostbite Stacks so it's pretty nice uh then next blade Weaver so basically blade Weaver is giving us more damage and the way it works is you see if I use AC roll cost skill like Mana strike I'm generating these blade weaving Stacks I have maximum of three because I only have three points spent in the tree and when I use a skill like shatter strike it will basically just consume these stacks and then uh give the shatter strike and the elements applied by shatter strike uh more damage so uh each stack is 15% more damage so in total I have about 45% now I'm only going up to three stacks because I noticed that basically I am doing my shatter strike that I'm using Mana strike and that's generally about three hits that's what I'm getting off so I've only set it to three if you are noticing that you're getting four hits you could set it up to four get a little bit more damage uh or if you're only getting two then uh changing down to two and you can save some points like that so it's kind of something you can kind of optimize a little bit on your own I think okay so basically the rest of the passives are kind of uh simple not really much to say uh one thing to note about the Mana is so I take some extra mana and armor the armor is nice obviously but the Mana is nice cuz we don't really have that big of a Mana pool and having a little bit more Mana is kind of nice for Shatter strike which does use quite a bit of Mana uh overall what do I think about the build uh so far it's been a breeze to play um I mean you know it's low corruption jewela very easy to kill um it is fast enough you know the damage is nice the war generation is nice and yeah overall a very fun build very flashy a lot of things shooting out and things happening on the screen and I do uh enjoy playing it and I'll probably will be playing this character a bit more maybe I'm trying to push a little bit more corruption while I farm up some more favor to buy more items to upgrade we'll see what happens maybe I'll make an update video um when I get some better gear but just want to put that this one out here if any of you guys are looking for that sort of um mage sword wielding um kind of like build that is like freezing everything you know spells going everywhere and like you're attacking with these like big attacks really quickly and um if you enjoy that kind of play style then this might be something you would want to check out okay but that's going to be it for this one guys um thanks for watching and I'll see you next time
