Which character to choose after the update?

[Сквончи]

Hello everyone!

Before the update, I was playing as a Monk and made it to the end of Act II. But after the patch, I started getting one-shotted pretty frequently, and it really took the fun out of it for me.

I figured I'd create a new character and went with an Amazon. I got about halfway through Act I, but she feels really weak compared to how Monk played early on — which honestly just made things feel even more frustrating.

I'm a bit lost on which class is a good starting point after the update. I’d love to enjoy the game again — slicing through enemies and progressing smoothly — instead of constantly dying and re-running the same areas.

For now, I’m taking a short break, but I’d really appreciate any advice or class recommendations from those who've been playing post-update. Thanks in advance!

the #1 for dps is the "uninstall " class

Yeah, you’re right - I’m just one step away from choosing that class :)

Bleed Huntress is fun and super agile. Not the best for the bosses tho, so those fights are a little slower.

If you like the huntress class go for the twisters build, it's clunky but playable

No, I won't rely on tiny crap tornadoes to deal damage.

Try making ur own build and don't follow these "pros" every time.

To be honest, just like with the Monk before the update and now with the Huntress after it — I use my own builds and don't follow what other players do.

In the case of the Huntress, I combine poison arrows with the spear, but for boss fights it becomes unplayable after the middle of the first act (I can't even get past the totem boss, where I get killed over and over again with ease)

Huntress right now is pretty darn fun, I focus on evasion & use the spear & parry shield I feel almost immortal.

Though it's heavy combo's focus biult around parry & retreat to gain frenzy charges but that's super easy to do.

It's a slower class because you need thoses parry to gain charges but all the way to act3 & I've been doing fine with what I know is a crappy biuld I've no clue what I'm biulding & I'm still breezing through the campaign.

Also avoid minion builds like the plague they truly do just suck now though the companion seems pretty solid.

A different game for me ;)

Try this then:
-Rake for bleed with stomping ground
-Disengage to get out of tough situations and to throw some spear.
-Blood hunt skill to procc the bleed.
-Left click attack with 50% bleed chance and lots of attack speed.
-herald of bloos is super OP
Combine these with throwing exp spear, shocking spear, and the cold/freeze spear.

Good spear is needed, but so far so good even tho i'm playing in SSF.
Died 5 times so far and i'm in the middle of act 3.

I guess I'm just getting a bit too old for all the frantic key-mashing needed to switch skills on the fly

Hehe, it's ADHD build, bc you are jumping in and out of fights twice a second. But whatever deals dmg on this patch, I will take it.

Maybe I try a Bow/x-Bow huntress but Spear skills are not for me.

I would call for the character "Play button" which is located in Last Epoch ? who knows which play button is better
