Introduction: 🎮
Last Epoch is finally here! In this video, I want to go over all the different masteries, including the two new ones that are coming and give you an idea of how they are going to be for somebody who is brand new to Last Epoch. Whether this is your first character or you’re just looking to gear up your stash, this tier list is going to be very similar to a tier list, but with a couple of things moved around. Keep in mind that this is all opinion and there’s ton of balance coming, so maybe it won’t pan out exactly as I predict. Hopefully, you do find it helpful in making a choice. If you have opinions of your own, let me know in the comments down below. I did want to emphasize that this tier list is based around the most skills that are the coolest and powerful.
Tier 1: Sentinel – Forge Guard 🛡️
Starting off with Sentinel, specifically the Forge Guard, which was actually a class I was not excited about playing. However, after playing it for a bit, I found that it was good and is a very strong choice for starting off. The Shield Throw skill is quite fun and very powerful. The leveling experience feels really good, as the weapons and skills all feel really powerful. It is important to note that Last Epoch tests your survivability, so having a lot of health and defenses are crucial for some classes. The Forge Guard, with its ton of survivability, is a strong choice for new players.
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
High survivability | Requires a lot of work to perfect builds |
Powerful skills | Some classes are significantly squishier |
Ton of balance coming | Requires significant health and defenses |
Tier 1: Sentinel – Paladin ⚔️
Moving on to the Paladin, which is the class I spent most of my time on in Last Epoch and it did not disappoint. It is one of the best choices in terms of versatility and power. It is incredibly tanky and has a variety of different playstyles that you can choose from. The Paladin is definitely a top-tier choice for new or returning players.
- The Paladin offers a lot of versatility and power, making it a top-tier choice.
Tier 2: Acolyte – Lich 💀
Next up, we have the Acolyte, which is a really interesting class with really good masteries. One of the masteries we’ll be talking about is the Lich. The Lich is incredibly powerful, but it does require a bit of time to get going. There are a lot of unique builds that revolve around lowlife mechanics, making it a very interesting choice.
- The Lich mastery offers incredibly powerful options for those willing to invest the time.
Tier 2: Acolyte – Necromancer ☠️
Second on the masteries for Acolyte is the Necromancer. This mastery is great for players who enjoy minion play setups. While I’m not a huge fan of minion play, the leveling experience was incredibly easy and it offers a lot of flexibility with different minion types. The Necromancer is definitely a solid choice for players who want to dabble in summoning minions.
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Easy leveling experience | Requires specific playstyle for full potential |
Flexible summoning options | May not appeal to players who dislike minions |
Offers a wide variety of playstyles | Some builds require specific uniques |
Tier 2: Acolyte – Warlock 🔮
Lastly, we have the Warlock, which is a new mastery for the Acolyte. I predict that this mastery is going to be very strong, offering a unique playstyle that revolves around powerful skills. It’s definitely a solid choice for players who want to explore a more unique approach to the game.
- The Warlock is a solid choice for players looking for a more unique and powerful playstyle.

Whether you’re a fan of summoning minions, tanky melee combat, or powerful spellcasting, there’s a mastery for you.
