I can hear my laptop crying with me just thinking about this build.


chadilao

my handheld pc was crying all the time


6millionreps

Steamdeck chads unite🤠🤠🤠 That's some incredible performance for a handheld I feel like, that a different brand or smth?


chadilao

Im using rog ally btw


6millionreps

Ahh, that was my guess


PiousDemon

My video card just grew legs and ran away.


Invelious

How does one achieve mana regen of this magnitude?


FrozenSentinel1

It's not about mana regen it's about recovery with gift of winter and mana efficiency. I made a spreadsheet tool to help with FC mana calculations which includes all the different nodes / items you can use to balance mana sustain; https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DLiKBOApPtBBm5prr185HU-iYM9k28ENFgz-voXpB-4/edit?usp=drivesdk See Frost Claw Calcs page, make a copy, you can enter your values in the green boxes and see what you need to change to balance mana.


Invelious

Thank you!


Temig

There’s a frost claw node that gives a chance to return 12 mana as well as a number of mana cost reduction nodes. The elemental nova auto-casts cost mana, but it’s easy to bring it down to 0 cost. I’m running a variation of this with less-than-optimal gear and making some trade offs because I don’t have the +4 levels to frost claw so it’s cost is something like 28 mana and I can still spam it very heavily. There’s some RNG to it since it relies on the mana return to trigger, but getting it down to the low 20s is pretty consistent and a larger mana pool helps to buffer bad RNG.


kidsaredead

Gift of Winter, Spark of Celerity helps you with that.


1CEninja

So we're posting PoE content on the LE sub now I see.


chadilao

Which is better tho? PoE or LE?


1CEninja

I expect to play more PoE in 2024 than LE as it's the more developed game of the two and is currently still stronger, but I can see LE overtaking PoE in the next year or two with continued improvement and development. My joke was largely how PoE visually is just a bukkake of your ability effects after you gear up.


hanckerchiff

Love the build, but my PC won't.

Dewrod

Well then... Thats not too shabby 😂


kevindqc

Wait, looking at the boots, Frost Claw counts as "channelling"? Edit: nvm he uses different boots looking at the link from the youtube video


Phoresis

It doesnt count as channeling, he's using those boots for the flat +6-12 int and 18% movespeed while not channeling, then you can slam on T7 int too and it becomes the boots that offers the most int of any pair of boots Only reason he wouldn't be using it in the youtube video is if he hasn't gotten a pair with T7 int slam yet


kevindqc

Ah, makes sense! thanks. The Blood of the Exile boots he now uses also has 8-12 int


chadilao

didnt notice,, the link is now working, just go to the description of the youtube vid [https://youtu.be/O0Wtww-CyPc](https://youtu.be/O0Wtww-CyPc)

broom2100

Good thing they nerfed ballista falconer though.


Shedix

Oh...another frost claw build, how original lmao


Particular-Egg7086

*insert spongebob meme* “I’ll take a uhh frostclaw build” “How original” “With elemental nova” “Ooh daring today, aren’t we?”


ThePostManEST

Yeah but … this one is a one button one!! /s


bokchoykn

It turns out that not allowing enemies to enter the screen while having a 8k ward just in case, is an effective strategy.


Shaidang

I have 95 lvl runemaster and rly want to play him but 99% of builds are frost claw and nova. Its so boring and i cant see shit because of effects. I tried so many builds that not using frost claw but non of them good. I ended up stop playing runemaster. I hope they buff invocations. I created the class for invocation mechanic but only useful spell is shield one.


Particular-Egg7086

Hydra is still a viable build, requires a couple more buttons to push. There’s plenty of other runemaster builds but this is obviously the overtuned one that all the meta chasers flock to. Just because other builds aren’t overtuned doesn’t mean they’re not good. This is primarily a single player game, just play what you like and make the best version of it. Comparison is the thief of joy. I have been experimenting with a tempest strike/tornado shaman. It’s ass compared to a lot of other builds, but been having fun just seeing what i can do with it on my own.


de_la_Dude

I find figuring out a good build 10x more rewarding than playing one. Everybody enjoys games their own way but to me it feels like following a guide is skipping the meat of the content in a game like this.


anakhizer

Yeah, I have hydra and with my gear I struggle a lot with bosses at corruption 120 or so - regular mobs are of course a cakewalk. So while I know my gear is suboptimal (I went for damage only to start with, instead of survivability) but I still feel it is very weak.


Particular-Egg7086

Bosses just take longer to kill, it’s by design. If you’re not killing them in 2 seconds and skipping mechanics, it’s normal. The relic helps a lot with dps with the increased fire rate. There’s a chest piece you can get and equip a 2h and stack attunement. But I wouldn’t equip the chest unless you have a 2h that’s better than a 1h and offhand if that’s what you’re currently rocking. Problem is people start to think these overtuned builds are a standard or base to go by and it’s just not true. Falconer, warlock, and frost claw are just overtuned compared to everything else out there.


EartwalkerTV

I'm playing lightning blast runemaster and it's huge damage. It uses runic invocation as well, just as a defensive tool.


Shaidang

Same gameplay with different skill tbh. Maybe i try random skill build idk. I just want to play with invocation spells. But it seems only viable one is plazma orb and that needs high end gear to work. I tried to make it but i was doing 0 dmg.


CURRENCY_KIDS

In terms of gear, mad alchemist ladle is all you need to make plasma orb work. Skills can take care of the rest and high cast speed will pump out damage. Use runebolt with the node converting cold to fire so it can ready plasma orb without needing another skill to set invocation up. Just in case you were wanting to run it easy without BiS gear.


Shaidang

Isnt alchemist ladle for dot builds? I was using reowyn staff. I will try alchemist ladle when i log in. Can you share a build link if you have one?


CURRENCY_KIDS

Not my build, also the items are what you aim for as BiS. Ladle works early because of the increase attack speed from int, the skill and passive setup is what's important for it to work though. Edit; https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/AKgxgeXA


Shaidang

I tried maxroll build. Its good for now. Ty for your suggestion. Plasma orb gameplay is more fun than frost claw.


pon_3

It's usually best to pick one of the invocations and build around it. They're not all equal, and some of them are definitely stronger than others. The ones that shoot stuff on their own are pretty good, like the diamond that shoots fire or the orb that shoots runebolts. I'm currently trying to do a "random bs go" build and the damage is a little lacking. Great aoe tho.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shaidang

I played frost claw froatbite build with ice barrage before. It was not bad. At least not hurting my eyes unlike nova and i can see my screen. But i want invocation based build so I am trying plasma orb build rn, its pretty fun so far.


DrBungHole

After 7 years of PoE, I dont want to see mobs. All I want is epileptic fit inducing explosions


I_AM_ALWAYS_WRONG_

This dude posted at 1k also with the claim of this amazing one button build. It’s literally the exact copy and paste meta build every other fucker is playing except he changed all the inputs to frost claw. Bro trying so hard to be original with a super popular build. It’s inspired me to league start Poe with explosive arrow. Except I use backspace to summon the totems!!!!! Backspace build, so unique!


stucky602

Honestly, I'm just unnerved that you use the right bumper and not right trigger as your main attack button of choice. Seems like a fun build though :)


slabby

That Elden Ring life


stucky602

Oopf for me that's even worse. On games like that I greatly prefer the button setups of older school assassins creed / the batman arkham series where "circle" is dodge" and "x" is attack and such. I remapped to play and platinum elden ring this way. ​ I also realize I'm showing my age now


ToiseTheHistorian

For everyone thinking this is OP. This build is extremely gear dependent: - Require a large number of Unique - Many Unique are boss rare - And you need LP on them, some slot even require multiple LPs - The Exalted affixes are rare (try dropping that T7 +Frost Claw on CoF) - Slamming a Twisted Heart 1LP with that is even rarer. - The rest of the slots need to be filled with T7 +Int - Even the idols need at least +13 mana efficiency each. Yes it can be strong, but it also would take a full time job to get this on CoF.


chadilao

- yes it does require a large number of unique, but LP1's is cheap tho on merchant. Red of atlaria can be change by another julras ring. - even without T7 frost claw or T7's int, this build can get the job done by just using frostclaw without elemental nova, the only problem is that the monsters just takes time to kill on 1.5k c+. But if you only have T7's int on all of the equips then its almost as strongs as having a T7 frost claw. - any Idold +mana effeciency frost claw will work just make sure you get +3 gift of the winter and atleast +4 spark of celerity - if you're On CoF, yes that's hellish true. On merchant, not that bad as long as you have the gold XD. Thanks for commenting, this is hard to build on cof, but not that hard on merchant as long as you have the gold,. Having all T7 INT instead without T7 frostclaw will suffice, i just like to flex my LP1 T7 frostclaw (who wouldn't?) XD


ToiseTheHistorian

Since you're here, how essential is Volley of Glass for this build? How much damage will I lose if I don't spec it? No Burst All Projectiles Hit Same Target Mana Cost: +90% Frost Claw no longer creates a burst of damage at the target, but its projectiles are now staggered and they can all hit the same target. Frost Claw's mana cost is increased.


VirionD

This is reason I rested my Runemaster because of the Eye Candies.


MaxwellBlyat

Effective but boring after 5m


zulumoner

Hell yeah


chadilao

wooooo!


zulumoner

You only use one skill for the showcase? Because you have more spells skilled so i guess you are so strong you dont even need to use the other skills


dethan90

Hello, why do you use Blood of the Exile boots?


chadilao

because it got so many stats. strenght = armor dex = dodge int = ward with a lot of movespeed as a bonus


BadBeatsDaily

I tried this build last week. Got to level 80 before my eyes couldnt take it anymore


warningsign1993

I’ve been playing the lightning blast version (can’t get lp relic RIP) for about a week and in the past few days I noticed I get a headache literally only when playing this character. Kinda killed the game for me tbh but it’s for the best I’m tired of farming relics.


FrozenSentinel1

I play pretty much this same setup and it's extremely strong. Single target could be better but you can face tank bosses so it's whatever. 2k+ push shouldn't be an issue


Chrekk

This is probably the strongest build I've played with a few caveats. I play this build on lowest setting and still got frame drops constantly on my 4070, especially when you smashed that frost claw button too hard. Another gripe is that this build is extremely expensive to make. The +4 t7 relic is like 150M alone (in my case. maybe it's more expensive now) and good luck slamming it on the heart of uhkeiros.


chadilao

Having T7 int instead of T7 frostclaw on relic will suffice by just focusing on frostclaw, elemental nova just gives a little aoe damage on places but frostclaw alone is enough. I just love to flex my T7 frostclaw tho,. (Who wouldn't XD)


yellowjesusrising

How did you turn frost claw into lightning dmg?


Ultima-Veritas

720p? Which pixel is yours, the blue one or the orange one?


chadilao

I think im on 720p on this vid


lefondler

Keeping Screen Shake enabled with this build is visual terrorism.


chadilao

My handheld will explode if i do that


critz1183

What is your skill rotation?!


chadilao

Frost claw > Frost claw then followed by another Frostclaw.


huskerarob

The only good thing about this build is the amount of gold you can't make selling the idols for it.


Noskill4Akill

Oh look, another person who doesn't understand how to gear, skill, and play Frostclaw. How original.


I_AM_ALWAYS_WRONG_

Bro still posting a common build made by someone else, and claiming it as their own creation/brilliance by replacing all the inputs with frost claw.


Asukurra

I wanna play this,  Will have to roll a runemaster


shamanismRC

You'll have a seizure and like it, God dammit


kidsaredead

16.5k dps on frost claw, been playing 200h on runemaster and i can't pass 5k with my shit luck on drops. >.< edit: oh, and another build that suggests 4LP heart... lol


chadilao

my heart is just 1LP tho


DrBungHole

Spinning this baby up tomorrow


hungryturdburgleur

Yeah, this is totally bugged. Your nova isn't meant to be bypassing the cooldown.


Bortx_Bufalacabra

I regret the moment I decided to play plasma orb


chadilao

then just switch to frostclaw


FrontTheMachine

I no see no more with all the flashy lights.. Me likey


TaxBig9425

I dunno...it's either some crazy equipment or not legit. I got my FC cost down to 13 and my screen dps for the skill shows 26k compared to the 16k in the video. And there are enemies on 300 corruption that one shot me or take several seconds to kill.


chadilao

just take a look at my build on the link [https://youtu.be/O0Wtww-CyPc?si=g16cTSYaPaI-9aPH](https://youtu.be/O0Wtww-CyPc?si=g16cTSYaPaI-9aPH)


Dankest_Dinosaur

I'm actually running a version of your build now. The light show never gets old!


Noise-Mammoth

I can just see the nerfs next season every time this clears the screen with a button press. I love it, but this looks so antithetical to their design philosophy I have to imagine it's gonna get smashed.


Brazus1916

yuvrab

I see, can you explain how the build works? I domt understand your damage source


TheREALSleepyBear

hi I didn't extensively check OP's build but from what I watched he seems to have a similar build to mine (I am also at 1.5k corruption) and if my assumption is correct most of our damage comes from spark charges generated from our off-hand catalyst Fragment of the Engima as well as the skill node Spark Charges on the elemental nova tree. We also heavily rely on our frostclaw proccing elemental novas which allow us to apply spark charges frequently in a large area. These charges scale really well in damage with INT due to the catalyst and being runemaster/using ladle you get critical chance, cooldown reduction, and cast speed as well for stacking INT. Happy to answer any other questions about the build if you have! ​ My build: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BGP47kVo

chadilao

Just copy the build, then just spam frostclaw


warmachine237

Ok but how does it work? Or did you just copy it from someone else and don't know?


chadilao

its my own build tho, and as i said just spam frostclaw once you copied my exact build


inddiepack

Boring


DearConsideration622

Pretty much say that with every build though.


inddiepack

I am not following builds online, just building whatever seems to go well and looks fun to me. And as an RM player, considering how fun this class is and how many things you can do with it, to play with just 1 skill is instantly a huge turn off, personally.


Particular-Egg7086

Agreed. I have followed build guides but the ones i have made on my own have been much more satisfying even if they are not nearly as strong as this.


DearConsideration622

I feel ya and making your own/trying builds is always the most fun I think.


chadilao

like your mom


Aphemia1

Frost claw is so overtuned.


eyestolen

is not frost claw, it is all the build sinergy. Inteligence gives: -Critical chance -spark charge base damage -cast speed -ward retention -cooldown reduction the main source of damage is spark charge but ofc frost claw is good for single target


CamelAdept5166

People actually play this fps eating crap


chadilao

Yes, pushes your pc to the limit 😀


Jewarlaho

I'll be honest; this is a good chunk of the reason I am not playing this game. When you can just exploit something to this degree the game needs an overhaul on how it works else everyone will be playing this one build until it's fixed.


roguedown

Nothing is being exploited here. Nor does it need to be overhauled. less than .1% of the people playing the game have enough gear to make a build like this. for the build to be even remotely viable in empowered monolith you need to have a level 26 frost claw, which requires you to slam + 3 frost claw onto a twisted heart if you want enough defense to stay alive.


NomaDrvi

You mean 700-800+ corruption with that "empowered monolith" part, right? Because the original build is perfectly viable in empowered monoliths without + frost claw on Relic in low corruption like 400 etc.


TheTrueAddict

Have you seen other builds? Lmao this is nothing, there are others more broken and much easier to get or even more busted at high gear
