Gathering storm opens the door to some wild new builds. Converting lightning to frost is the key here. Tornado Shaman might be the next big thing, with massive frostbite and stormbolt damage. But beware of potential game chugging – this build might just break the game with the sheer number of tornadoes and stormbolt procs. #BuildTheorycraft
In this video, Dread discusses a theorycrafting build centered around Gathering Storm, a new skill in Last Epoch 1.0. The main focus of the build is to use Gathering Storm to generate storm stacks, which then interact with other skills in the Tornado Shaman class.
Table of Contents
Key Takeaways
Aspect | Description |
---|---|
New Skill | Gathering Storm is a new skill in Last Epoch 1.0 that generates storm stacks for synergy. |
Skill Interactions | Tornadoes can be modified to shoot storm bolts and frostbites, which significantly increases damage output. |
Mana Regeneration | The build heavily relies on a large amount of Mana regeneration to sustain casting speed. |
Building Around Gathering Storm
Dread emphasizes building around the cold conversion aspect of Gathering Storm, which converts lightning damage to cold and shock chance to frostbite chance. By focusing on scaling the entire build with this conversion, a Tornado Frostbite Shaman can be made significantly stronger.
Detailed Build Plan
The proposed build involves maximizing cold penetration and utilizing supportive skills like Storm Totem and War Cry. A detailed outline of the gearing and passive tree is provided, explaining how to achieve a high level of Mana regeneration to support the casting speed required for this build.
Potential Challenges
While the build appears to be promising in terms of damage output, Dread acknowledges potential issues with frame rates and game performance due to the sheer number of tornadoes and stormbolt procs the build aims to generate.
Conclusion
Dread’s theorycrafted Tornado Frostbite Shaman build provides an exciting perspective for Last Epoch 1.0. The innovative approach to maximizing cold conversion and Mana regeneration presents a potential game-changer, even with acknowledged performance concerns. It’s an experimental build aimed at leveraging the new Gathering Storm skill to its fullest potential.
