Best build guide and explaining iv seen in in a looong time! Super well spoken, slow, easy to understand. you help us understand how it works wich is rare these days. You got a sub and i will follow you on this journey! GJ!
Looking forward to this build and a meteor build fully fleshed out for the new season. Thanks for all the hardwork and detailed guide you put together.
Just leaving a message to thank you for this detailed build guide. Super comprehensive even for a casual. Sorry some can't understand that providing footage for a build before it's live in the game is impossible. I'll be starting the cycle with your guide and subbed to see more of what you will do with it!
Nice video. Was hoping to find something like this because I really dislike the feel of Meteor and that seemed to be the go-to skill for doing mana stacking Sorc in 1.1... One question I have, and maybe I missed you talking about it in the video, but any estimate of how long you will be staying on the Glacier build? Like is there a level you have in mind, or maybe a specific point in gear progression where you think transitioning will be a good idea? Maybe once you have the wand since a lot of utility and power is gated behind it?
After my practice runs I’m probably gonna switch once I have wand and offhand. I almost always got both before level 65. Wand helps it feel smooth and offhand helps clear so much.
@@pinchingloaf Alright, thats a lot earlier than I expected to see both of those items. Hope I dont get too unlucky with the wand, since its uncommon. Thanks for the reply.
You are 100% correct and was an oversight by myself. Im so used to building Flame Ward a certain way and its rare you can +4 levels to a generic element. That will give us a little more damage to mana and 50% increased lightninging damage. Thank you for the catch!
Loaf, PLEASE when you get time, do a build guide with the other build you decided to go with instead of this one. (The Rogue Build) I know you mentioned that it's a boss killer and that's the build that many of us would love to see. Also. Keep up the great guides! I started running this one, but once I saw that you quickly switched to a Rogue build I lost confidence in this build lol. Hopefully this will still get me through the campaign okay still while waiting for your other guide. I had to start late due to computer issues.
I got to 200 corruption in the first day on this build so it definitely smashes the campaign just fine. Main issue was some last minute changes EHG made to the build that made it a lot more gear intensive for bossing. I hope to make an update on the direction to go tomorrow. I am also planning on making the rogue build guide soon.
@@pinchingloaf awesome, thank you, and I look forward to the Sorcerer update and the Rogue build guide as well. Because this Sorcerer Build does seem to be more gear intensive than previously thought, I'm going to go MG instead of COF just to make sure I get the top gear pieces over time.
Thank you for the build guide ! If I have doubts about focus being too clunky, do you think switching to manastrike is viable ? It scales with max mana, has some sort of "oom" bonus, spark charges generation ... What do you think ?
if it were me, id probably switch to teleport meteor since mana strike doesnt give a lot of mana back even with negative set up. My goal late game is to drop focus all together though.
Thanks for the build! Do you know if COF would work with this build as opposed to playing MG? I just enjoy COF more. If you mentioned this already in the video, I apologize as I haven't been through the entire video yet.
Really irks me that rings with 5 dead lines are BIS. Are there any chance a well rolled Julra's with +2LP could compete, or is the base crit just too valuable?
They are just gonna be super easy to get. Gear this cycle is going to be insane so I made this very conservative. If you get a couple crazy crit pieces, you can drop the rings for probably a red ring of atlaria or the weaver rings with gold rolls. Julra is good too.
@@Quentz84 This build guide is better than Allie. Plus Allie talks 100 mph and does not have good articulation skills. I think this build will be better than Meteors also.
Yeah I'm having a hard time choosing between the two builds. I'm probably gonna stick to meteor at the start and be checking Loaf's stream to see if static orb feels better or not
@@pinchingloafAh, yeah I wish I had tried that lol. Once I got to level 51 and equipped that wand with 51 lighting spell dmg implicit I was all good with static orb
I'm currently playing this build and ill be honest, without the correct gear already made its pretty damn hard to get this build going lol boss dps is really rough
Yeah they made some changes a day or two before the patch went live that made it much more gear intensive. If you look up fubgun, he made a bossing version that’s working pretty well. I’m hoping to make an update video tomorrow on my day off. Sorry for the issues, I did not expect them to make changes so close to launch. Threw me for a loop too.
yea I decided to go MG instead of COF after hearing about this change. I'm a casual, so I move slow, so I'll wait for Loaf's video to provide the gear update.
@@down-the-rabbit-hole Do you have any idea where I can find the changes you guys are talking about? I couldn't find anything that would be a drastic change for this build tbh. I'm trying to find what I'm doing wrong cause I'm struggling so hard lol I'm dying every other echo in empowered monos with zdps 😂
@@kylebusc3624 I think Loaf had said he will be releasing a video within a day or two with updated gear for bosses. You can also click on his twitch stream link in the video and watch his first day of the cycle video. He made it all the way up to corruption 200 with no problem. Maybe by watching that you can see what you might be doing wrong.
I guess that depends on which spark charge sorc. If you’re asking glacier vs this one, I think glacier will be easier to gear however it will have less damage at higher end gear.
Yeah I didnt have a ton of time. I plan on making a full guide similar to my other ones a couple days in when I have gameplay footage as well. I put a leveling planner in the video description though.
You can use this pretty early however I plan on waiting until I have the enigma offhand and the wand. Glacier gear is almost the same and it will be faster for me until I get those items.
Yes, all new content besides the pinnacle boss will be valuable on launch. Once the first kill happens on cycle, the pinnacle boss will be available everywhere.
I dont think im supposed to share specifics like that but I can show math based on what patch notes included. Just from the lost knowledge node with 1k mana(super low) you get 333 ward per cast. Stacking int we will have a bunch of retention and ward decay threshold. It wont be like the old days with the ward nerfs but it will def be very cozy and one of the tankier builds.
If you look at all my other videos I always add gameplay if it’s possible. This build was using passives and new uniques that were not in the game yet. EHG does not allow me to use footage from the test servers.
I will have that out probably day one or two. A lot of this build is possible with new passives and uniques. They don’t let us use any footage from test servers.
show some gameplay instead of talking about unimportant things. noobs like me watch how it's played, not any stats. people who can play don't watch your videos
I completely understand that. This is however a new build that can only function with the newly reworked passives and uniques being added in 1.1. They do not let me use any footage from the test servers. I’d recommend dropping by the stream on July 9th to see some early footage.
he mentioned that it's because the guide is using mechanics that didn't exist prior to this cycle and they don't allow him to use footage from the testing program.
Seeing absurd merchant builds really just puts us down. 99% of followers will be stuck in the mud a few miles behind that, not really caring about ineffective superminmax strategies that only really is about fixing that last 1% effectiveness. Most will be struggling with getting the LP uniques for a few hundred hours of SSF while seeing their favorite streamer just buying the best items off market. Really prefer the content about how to get to the endgame.
This is honestly super conservative gear. The new league mechanic will shower you with legendary potential uniques and even already slammed legendary gear. Last season I played solo 99% of the time and in CoF. I normally tailor my content to new players and help them learn how to acquire this gear.
you do realize that he's showing last epoch tools page and not his actual ingame character. he's showing his end game vision of what the character will be. If you bothered watching the vid or reading the description, there's a linker leveling guide up to level 60 using blues and yellows as leveling gears. The new seasonal mechanic gives you legendary drops. managed to get frozen ire, snowblind and snow drift before hitting 40, been 1 shotting monsters in the first mono with glaciers.
@@soes6241 it’s hard to tell as a lot of its key passives for sorcerer arent on live servers yet. I plan on doing glacier for early leveling. I’ll probably switch around level 40ish but we’ll see.
@@pinchingloafdo you have any tips on the early game with glacier? It seems to stall out a but around mid 20 in my opinion but it's to early to swap to meteor or lightning yet.
@@taven2164 I’d recommend coming by the stream while I’m playing. I use both meteor and glacier early on. I can make meteor give me all my mana back for more glaciers.
