Last Epoch | GOD OF THUNDER | True Melee Lightning Shaman Build Guide 

I rarely writing comments but thank you thank you I was desperate searching for someone who playing shaman dualwield and lightning because its so unpopular shaman no one streaming or playing shaman so I need to repeat it myself thanks a lot Negon!🙏

I was building my own Enhancement Shaman build, but newbie to Last Epoch so wanted to do a sanity check. Appreciate the video. Other than a few points, this is pretty much where I’m going.

I leveled using this build and it was super fun, thanks!

FINALLY a proper shaman build - thank you! My current skill setup is very similar, but I've been using Warcry and Tornados instead of Wolves and Gathering Storm. My biggest setback currently is trying to get Tempest Maw, but I've had no luck when using Ascendance Runes on 1-handed axes.

Yeah....visually perfect. Thanks for build...

This build is so good!

2:17 Bless you! 😊

Finally!!

Love the aesthetic

Thank you alot for that cool build. Im nów lvl 87 with it, running this build from lvl 34 and i just lvld solo ez in dungeons with it to skip the campain. 2 questions. Does Int scale with stormbolts, and did u tried Uzenius Sphere?

Thanks, for the guide. I tried too to build a shaman dw shaman, but more frost oriented, with mixed results and i'll give this a shot when i'll get the axes. It's a pity we have few options, talent that don't sinergize so well with each other and not many to encourage dual wielding.I hope the devs will look on this on the future

Could you possible record skill tree progressions on the build planner to help with leveling? also is there a loot filter for this? Thanks for the build, I love enhance from wow and this got me interested :D

would you remove storm stacks with physical build? If so what do u recommend replacing gathering storm with? Thanks for the vid

Really nice idea, i really would like to do a cold version of this, BUT when you change your thorn totem to cold and gathering storm to cold friends of the tempest doesn't give storm stacks, that's too sad, i hope they fix it soon.. Also i think a scepter with an axe is so much better than 2 unique axes, in a scepter you get more melee dmg and more spell dmg by itself and also you can get Flat spell lightning damage + lifeleech with lightning spells, or more attack speed, more lightning spell damage and also lightning penetration as a suffix.

Hands down the best builds

I have almost same build.. But I use Axe and shield (later maybe 2handed axe) So my gathering storm is little difference. I have points on Jolting Strikes and Tempest weapon. Your version is maybe better, but I wanted to make Viking character, so that's why axe and shield :D Very nice video, good job! 👍

The mapping looks smooth but how well does the build do on bosses? I am currently running a frost shaman with malestrom&avalanche and it is great for mapping but bosses oneshot me with every single ability. Even mapping sometimes I die very fast. Also, on my build I run storm crows with teleport but sometimes I replace it with leap for bosses because the crows die when I need to teleport :/

My friend. Can i ask you, how you generate Storm Bolt stacks ? I mean...im trying to use Gathering Storm, but i' ve got a problem to stack them...i lose stacks before i can do something. Is it a tip for that ?

Do you have a loot filter for this build that also isnt a loot filter for acolyte at the same time. I notice i get a lot of gear for acolyte with the loot filter you provided for this build. The one in the google docs. Thanks!

This is what I've been looking for! A melee, lightning setup that leaps around the map! Thanks so much for sharing. Quick question... how far into corruption have you been able to push this?

This build is so cool. Would I be able to replicate something close to this as beastmaster? Or would I have to reroll shaman

I really enjoy the build ! I want to try the phys version dop you believe its worth and if yes what i should change in the build?

I was doing something similar, but i was hoping the unic relic storm caved testament when it was trigged to summon storm totem spaw storm sprites from tempest maw, but it didnt spaw

I was also trying to make some enh shaman and it looks so nice! I only think that you should swap tempest on mealstorm? Have you think about it?

Build looks super sick. Have you considered using the node Lagon's answer? Due to the high attack speed it should procc pretty often.

So I got 2x tempest maws with 1lp each. Which stat should I try to slam on them? Crit? crit Multi? Lightning damage? Thanks

Do you have a build guide for the cold or physical variants?

Try switching Wolves and Leap for Warcry and Maelstrom. Warcy can generate 4 maelstrom stacks every 4 seconds so you generally get to 6+ stacks easily, (and it has talents that make it rain lighting bolts within maelstrom if you have 6 stacks - which can be lowered to 3 min depending on how many talents you waste for it), that way you can keep maelstrom off your bar to still be able to use an emergency Leap. But who knows if it's worth it in the end. Hybridizing damage is nice and all but you no longer get full benefit from %Lighting Damage and gotta use %spell damage and % elemental damage instead if you want both lighting and cold to benefit. Tho I'm leveling my 2nd werebear druid just to see if a cold melee bear or DoT frostbite bear are any good compared to my ol' lighting bear. Probably not, since Lighting bear demolishes monos by merely walking at brisk pace lol. The Ice bears would have to hit the whole screen at once to even come close to OPness of Lightning bear

Hate to double comment on on this, but I finally decided to just swap over to this build entirely, and the damage output is insane for enemy packs. The only major drawback is that it seems to have trouble maintaining the storm stacks in single target scenarios. I opted for more health by focusing on % health where possible on gear and you can get your HP pool up to over 2600 since this build utilizes so many flat health passives. Shaman does seem to have a bit of survival issues in dangerous packs with empowered monoliths, so that huge bump in health is a major game changer in progression on its own.

Looks cool, what kind of corruption have you been able to achieve with this build

Sick build, not bad.

I'm considering buying Last Epoch and I was looking for an interesting melee build that was controller friendly (because I mainly play WASD), I was wondering if there was a level guide for your build?

Yo! Currently playing a similiar ice version of this but i cant understand why im not generating any Storm Stacks like you do? I use wolves and totems with 99% the same tree as you, trigger the stack with gathering storm but im just not generating close to fast enough. Any ideas?

i think i will give it a try looks like fun. btw i cant find the loot filter, did you forgot it or am i blind lol

🔥🔥🔥🔥

*sigh* tried to make my own melee shaman and just went with what felt right. Ended up slow and squishy with mediocre DPS. Followed this guide and now I'm fast, fairly tanky and carve through the hordes like a hot knife through butter.

Any chance you'd be able to release the phys version of this? I'm curious to see how my gear / build would work with it

can u share wt to do during leveling ? prioritize whichh spell first etc?

Looks fun, how much corruption did you pushed with this build?

I'm trying out this build and I'm still getting all of the pieces but I'm struggling with mana... level 87 and 276 mp. Where does the mana regen come from? I think I'm just missing it

This ones rough leveling - at least as a first character. about to hit 30 and its been slow; but the motivation is there cause i wanna do this so bad xD

is it more an end game build or is it viable for leveling ? Guess weapons are mandatory....

just curious is this build viable in 100+ corruption? dope build ether way

What is the role of this Gathering Storm in the build??

If Crows is better, wouldn't it be better for us to go beast master instead of shaman? I mean we do lose storm totem but the crows are huge. I'm new to primalist so only asking

Is there a reason you don't have Two Eyed Storm passive on Gathering Storm? Seems like it would 2x the Storm Bolt damage, but I am finding myself seriously mana drained with this passive enabled, so maybe that's why you didn't take it?

What would you drop for maelstrom/warcry?

How do you have three wolves? I can't find any passives to take it from 2 to 3.

hey how do you avoid mana problems with this build??

What corruption can this get to?

Have you considered replacing Leap for Upheaval (totem) for more survivability (Frailty stacking) or Avalanche for dmg and cc? and then putting points into Stormrider (Storm totem) to replace moveability, also have u given Swipe a try?

How do u get ur purple Items? I cant buy this on trade...

you mentioned in one of the comment below "Tbh, I would recommend just going Beastmaster / tempest strike (Gladiator of Lagon buffs) and scaling minions that way...Storm Crow focused build is probably nuts" i was going to do shaman totem then once im bored with it ill do your shaman god of thunder.. but now you saying beastmaster is better for this god of thuner build? comeon before i choose mastery haha

Why not storm crows isntead of wolves?

Maybe it’s because I’m missing those two axes or I’m only 77 and missing a lot of passive points but compared to my lightning sorcerer this build does not seem to be THAT strong. I die quite a lot and the damage does not seem that big (bosses take ages). Also I don’t know how you can retain the gathering storm bonus this long, I have to press it constantly and hit stuff. Sad shaman :(

Did u use this for leveling?

Question, why no Storm Crows ?

Do you think this is HC viable? Cool build!

2:16 - bLESS YOU ))

For some reason Tempest strike does not sustain my storm stacks, in fact they expire way too fast

How do i get zero cost tempest strike. You never show the skill tree

i wish this build planners have progress points of the skill point. so i know which point to go first

how much corruption could you reach with it?

Must be a skill issue, but I can't get this thing to work. I am both extremely squishy and very low damage. On top of that - my Storm Stacks keep falling off, so I have to stop all the time to just cast Gathering Storm 2-3 times, my wolves keep dying and overall it just feels bad.

what is causing the lightning orbs to trigger

Where is the build in a planner please

My biggest problem with this build is I always expend an insane amount of mana, even with 23 mana regen per second. Something's off.

enhancement shaman OH YEAH

feels good to play with high attack speed, but there is no damage :(

What’s a shamen

Purposely why i chose shaman to figure it out blindly

I’m sitting here screaming bc I want this game on console and I can’t play it

What are the passives though? 😂

is this WoW?

Idk how anyone plays this game when crashes out or dcs literally every single time I try to do anything. Like the worst game I've ever experienced with this shit.

Diablo 4 is so bad and this game just makes Diablo 4 look very bad

I wish the items in this game werent so ugly and basic looking

Out of all the ways to pronounce Shaman....ffs man
